I know it's early, and Lowery probably will get more D1 offers, but ever since Zach Miller, I get nervous when I hear that that NIU is the only D1 program to offer a kid a scholarship.

I know I am comparing apples to oranges when bringing up Patton's recruitment efforts and eye for talent to Coach Burno, but I still have nightmares from the Patton regime.

Zach Miller sums up Patton's tenure in a nutshell.The only recruit that Patton could sign for 2011-2012 was a 5'8"white kid whose only D1 offer came from NIU.

I do feel bad for Monty for what he inherited from Patton.Not only did Monty inherit Zach Miller, but he inherited Zach Miller's father

What's the story on Zach Miller's father? This sounds like a fun "little" story.
