Darius Miller trying out for Team USA

Andy Katz reports today that Darius Miller will be trying out for the FIBA 19-and-under USA squad coached by Jaime Dixon. Hopefully we can get a preview of what Darius will look like in the fall. Other highlights of Katz's article:
  • Coach Cal is attempting to bring former UK greats to Lexington during the summer to ball with the current boys. Potential players include Chuck, Nazr, Tayshaun & Johnny Rondo.
  • Daniel Orton is already on campus lifting with Patterson via UK strength and conditioning. Orton will also be summer schooling it. I already love this kid. Pat Jr. if you will.
  • John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, and Darnell Dodson will be on campus by June 9 to attend both classes in both summers sessions.
  • Calipari also wants to hire one more guy for the staff. Most likely the Director of Basketball Operations position that Rod Strickland gave up to become the final assistant. WKYT reports it will be Martin Newton, C.M.'s son, and current mediator between Nike and the University.

Stop by this weekend if you get a chance. Next week we'll probably find out who is officially leaving the team.
