This is a message for ALL players with aspirations to play at a higher level.
1. Your coaches want you to be great.
2. Be receptive to coaching. It isn’t personal.
3. Do your job. If you can’t/won’t , then your coach will find someone who will.
Thank you

Kentucky Head Coach John Calipari and his entire staff are currently in Philadelphia for a home visit with 2023 Imhotep/Team Final (PA) SF Justin Edwards.
Pleased to announce that The Miller Report is now NCAA certified for boy’s AND girl’s basketball. NCAA Division I basketball programs are permitted to subscribe this recruiting service.
2024 4⭐️ guard Imhotep Ahmad Nowell is off the board to UConn. The Huskies are getting a high IQ, highly-skilled guard who is capable of playing on or off the ball. Should be an impact player from the start.
The Miller Report would like to extend heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of former Mastery North player, Jasmine L. Your infectious smile and humor will never be forgotten. Rest In Peace, Jas. 🕊
The Miller Report extends condolences to family, friends, and former players of Philly Basketball’s beloved, Paul Gripper. We’re going to miss your epic basketball rants, and old war stories. Loved his “shoot it straight” delivery. (Part 1)
This young man manipulated the P/R, consistently made good decisions, finished through contact, and also played with great poise and pace.

It is with saddened heart that we inform you of the passing of former West Catholic guard and graduate, Zion Jackson. The Miller Report sends its condolences to the Jackson family, and the West Catholic Burrs family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.🙏🏾
Philly Live I was an AMAZING experience! High school student-athletes from PA to FLA got the chance to play in front 200-300 college coaches! What else could you ask for?? S/O to Imhotep Charter’s Andre Noble and Archbishop Wood’s John Mosco for orchestrating the event!
Penn State senior F, John Harrar, has entered the transfer portal. He averaged 8.8 ppl and 8.8 rebs for the Nittany Lions this season. LaSalle, Maryland, Michigan St. Pitt, Miami, Rutgers, Wake Forest, Tennessee, N.C. State, Louisville, and Maryland have already shown interest.
Billy Lange is working from all angles. This is second player from a high major program he’s gotten to commit to St. Joe’s rebuilding process. The first being Greg Foster (Gonzaga). Now Dahmir Bishop. The Hawks have a couple of 4 stars in their future backcourt.
Congrats to former

This one pains me deeply. John Chaney demanded excellence on and off of the court. He challenged the NCAA’s policies. He truly loved his players. Rest In Peace to a true icon. Coach John Chaney, you will be missed. 🦉🍒

Last night, during the taping of “I Got A Story To Tell” podcast, former Toronto Raptors guard, Alvin Williams, revealed that he will become the Head Boys Basketball Coach at The Shipley School.
Just watched 6’9 Georgia Highlands (GA) PF Langston Wilson workout and play. Super athletic, made shots behind the line, and played above the rim - even after cramping up. This kid is HUNGRY and plays with a chip on his shoulder. Wilson is good as advertised.
For the programs who will practice at 5:30 AM tomorrow to honor the legacy of Coach John Chaney, please post or send videos and pictures using the hashtag

West Chester University (D2) guard, Robbie Heath, has entered the transfer portal. Heath led the PSAC in scoring with 24.6 points a game. Per a source, Heath has already heard from Fairfield, Hofstra, Towson, New Mexico St. and Holy Cross.

Great move for

and Coach Lange. Coach Justin Scott is an outstanding coach, and a an all-around great guy. He’s deeply entrenched in the Philly hoops community. The Hawks needed another Philly guy on staff, and picked the right guy.

Lafayette Head Coach Mike Jordan strikes gold in landing 2023 PG Mark Butler. Butler, who averaged 15 pts,
5 apg, 5 rebs, and 2 spg per game, was also named Inter-Ac MVP last season. The Leopards are getting a high IQ, tough,competitive point guard who makes the right plays.
Coach Billy Lange lays the foundation to his program by nabbing Philadelphia Public League standout, Chereef Knox from Imhotep Charter. Knox is a hard-nosed,two way player who has tremendously improved his perimeter game.
Former Overbrook (PA) standout, Cyrie Coates, has committed to Texas A&M - Corpus Cristi. Coates spent the last two seasons at the Community College of Beaver County (PA) where he averaged 10.8 ppg, 7.1 rpg, and 4.1 apg. Coates will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Legendary Georgetown coach, John Thompson, has passed away. In 1984, the Hall of Fame coach was the 1st African-American Head Coach to win a NCAA National Championship. Thank you for your contributions to the game of basketball. You will be missed. 🙏🏾
Didn’t cover any HS hoops last night, but was able to go watch a young man bear and dear to my heart. Glad to see that you’re making you way back, and doing what you love. I’m rooting for you,
