00:00When does King Miller get his scholarship?

00:03Yeah, I mean, I told you, he pops a big run every day.

00:07So that's just kind of what he does.

00:08He's been fantastic.

00:09Coach, this is Mr. Micah Vanuylos,

00:13and a quick kind of impression to what he did tonight.

00:16Yeah, you know, just kind of an inside-the-walls decision there.

00:21So we'll keep that at that.

00:24And, you know, Micah did a good job.

00:26I mean, he came in, he played really well,

00:28just kind of watching it throughout the game.

00:30I thought he handled the moment.

00:31He was prepared.

00:32You know, he's really improved a lot.

00:34He's definitely been one of the guys in our program that has stayed with it,

01:24The long offseason, we just trust each other to know that, you know,

01:27we're going to be where we're supposed to be.

01:28The scheme, I mean, the coaches are fantastic.

01:30So, you know, just going out and executing at a high level,
