The wait for Illini fans is over! Adam Miller has officially signed his National Letter of Intent to continue his playing career at the University of Illinois, after verbally committing to Head Coach Brad Underwood before the season kicked off at the Jordan Brand Store in Downtown Chicago. 

Ayo will forever be remembered for helping get the Illini program back where they should be at the top of the Big Ten standings, establishing a winning culture, and more importantly, paving the way for high tier recruits to land in Champaign. Ayo and Miller played together being Morgan Park natives and on the Mac Irvin fire AAU team. 

Miller, who just slightly won the 2020 Illinois Mr. Basketball award is a spot-up shooter, and much like Ayo can get to the rim at will, and finish. The NBA often uses the term “plug and play” players and I think Miller fits that role. He is a player that will fit right into the revamped Underwood offense. There will no doubt be a learning curve adjusting to the talent in the Big Ten but, I see Miller adjusting very quickly. 

In addition to Adam Miller, Andre Curbelo a guard with phenomenal court vision will join him in the backcourt, Coleman Hawkins who as a “three and D” style of player, and the two transfers off their sit out years in Grandison and Hutcherson.
