Carino Article on Myles Johnson and His Return East

[Knight Shift]

His former teammates will be in Philadelphia cheering for him. He does not say if he will play next year. Enjoy the barrage of ads.

March Madness: UCLA's Myles Johnson a familiar face at East Regional

The former Rutgers center is thriving off the court and contributing on it. He credits RU for preparing him. A North Carolina showdown awaits.

It’s great to see teammates are still connected …even Peter kiss is going to support Myles .

An interesting question that the article touched upon.

Is it more satisfying for a player like Myles who is very focused on academics and a career outside basketball to be playing a smaller role on a team that is in the Sweet 16 than if he had stayed at Rutgers and had a larger role, but the team did not advance any further in the tournament?

IMO, I would say yes. Couple that with his being closer to home and at UCLA, which has fantastic weather and is a top 5 public university, and it was the right move for him.

Maybe different if he was not so focused on academics and had NBA aspirations.

Will be interesting to see if he stays to play another year, or if he takes his Master's and goes to work.
