Not sure how, but if so she would likely be the highest ranking recruit for one of our major sports.

I think this would likely need to be a NIL win, which I believe is not likely.

She’s the 6th rated recruit and already has an NIL deal with the Jordan Brand.

That's why I said it would need to be a NIL win. She's already use to the $.

Extremely slim chance, but perhaps since she already has that deal in place the school specific NILs aren’t as necessary so long as the school is aligned with Nike.

Made it to the final 10 cut.

I'm putting our chances at .2% - aka 1 in 500.

Dream on.

She is down to 7 schools of which JMU is one. biggest tease ever?

Article in DNR on Kiyomi McMiller and her interest in the Dukes. take aways

- Sean gave her the first Scholie offer in middle school
- Sean and the staff have directly asked her if her interest is genuine as they dont want to waste time if it is just a courtesy - she replied that she is not just being nice
- Why JMU? likes the idea of playing giant killer. also wants a place where she can play her game, wide open and creative, not conforming to the coach's "system"
- doesnt want to be held back from what she is capable of

here are the finalists - Rutgers, ole miss, temple, Penn state, UCF and Florida state - not the traditional powers - maybe rutgers - didnt they win won 10 year ago? anyways, seems like she wants to elevate a program.

are we going to get her? still seems a long shot, but > 1%

She is from Maryland, so her parents can get to Harrisonburg pretty easily. She has a deal with Nike, so money is not a big driver. Maybe she wants the challenge of taking a mid to National prominence - ala Steph Curry, Larry Bird, Dwayne Wade. Likes Sean, likes JMU. would be a huge star and draw. She seems like someone who wants to cut her own path and challenge the conventional.

I am saying there is a chance.

And turned down UConn and UT.

Maybe 1.5%.

she does not want to sit out freshman year

Looking at the other finalists, I don't know that she'd want to pick either of the FloriDUH schools as they are pretty far for her parents. Ditto Ole Miss. I could be wrong though. It depends on how independent a kid she is; Pitt and Rugers have been real losers recently but have relatively new coaches. However they're sort of close to Maryland as is Penn State (yuck).

So what is the latest on that big time recruit?

I'm not holding my breath. You shouldn't either.

That's the spirit. Go Dukes.

Kelly Koshuta was once 3rd ranked Power Forward but did come to JMU via transfer from VT.

She was a five star recruit out of high school.

McMiller is taking her official visit this weekend!

Oh man, visiting JMU on homecoming/Halloween weekend when the football team is ranked playing ODU on national TV at night. Sounds like a great opportunity for her to fall in love with JMU.

when i read that she was visiting I thought, wow SOLD. this is the 11/10 weekend to visit JMU.

Neil Harrow with the "Boom" post. Hmm

Should we start holding our breath yet?
