TSN on Aaron Miles' McD's performance "Excellent leader who will prosper at Kansas. Plays within himself, understands how to make teammates better and is a winner. Shot poorly here, 2-for-8, but he is much better with his high school team."
From highmajorhoops.com "Aaron Miles, the 6'1 PG from
Jefferson HS in Portland, Oregon did more for his stock this summer than
arguably any other lead guard in the nation. He just runs a team at full
efficiency and is the perfect team leader from the quarterback position. Miles
is defensively sound in all aspects, hands out assists by the truck-load and can
stick the jumper when he feels the need. He is a good ball-handler and seems to
stray away from the trickery that most kids love to showcase today. It's not too
difficult to realize why so many coaches have taken notice of his array of
polished skills.
After having a thoroughly impressive event in Colorado, earlier this summer, he
took home the MVP honors on the NBA Players Camp in Washington, DC. We observed
Miles for the first time at that event and it didn't take long to realize just
what all the hype was about."
Coach Roy Williams said "Aaron Miles is the all around point guard we've been looking for."
Hoopscooponline.com "Aaron Miles runs the offense to perfection."
TSN "Miles' is the number one playmaker in the senior class. A selfless leader who creates success for his teammates."
Bob Gibbons ranks Aaron as the #2 point guard in the nation
