Myles Announcing Friday
- Thread starter HeavenUniv.
- Start date
Myles had a great career at Rutgers and will be graduating next month On The Banks. Myles loved Rutgers and I can’t blame him for taking his free year and going to an elite engineering program close to his home in Long Beach at UCLA.
Lets wish him well and I guess will be watching some PAC 12 games this season.

I think we will see a much improved Myles under Cronin next year. I know I’ll be sick every time I hear “Rutgers transfer” before his name like we did with Eugene this season.
Myles is practically the national poster child of a model student athlete. People all over America know how exceptional he is. Frankly, we were lucky to have him for the last four years. He’s got an incredible future in front of him and we should all be proud that he’ll be carrying the Rutgers banner on his journey through life.
Upstream Myles, upstream!
Upstream Myles, upstream!
As far as Myles the student and Myles the engineer I wish him the greatest of success. As far as Myles the basketball player, he plays for another team now. I'll focus on our guys. Just my personal opinion
Have fun rooting for Myles Johnson with Mick Cronin, Bill Walton & company. So calledRU fans that still think we don’t belong will have there UCLA Pom Poms out.
What a great opportunity for him. Just the perfect combo of location, academia, and basketball program. Whatever benefit he would have gotten from networking at Stanford he will more than make up for with the exposure of playing for UCLA.
Disappointing person for him to quote, but I guess division is in vogue. I wish him good luck at UCLA. Too bad he couldn’t finish that layup/dunk in crunch time, but it is what it is. I feel he played to the best of his ability and that’s all we can ask.
Good luck to Myles! He was a pleasant surprise this past year as his game went to the next level. Student-Athlete all the way - sorry to see him go - but happy for him if he feels it's a better situation for himself.
Should have been the B10 Defensive POY. If THAT'S not something special (at center) then not sure what is.
I think his retro sideburns made him the perfect look for UCLA 😀. I bet he blows up next year, but glad he's on the west coast so I don't have to see it all year. Wish him the best. Big fan and will miss him.
I wish him the best also. I also have no interest in watching him play for another team. Go RU!
Sure. As a Cali resident, I would be very happy if my kids got into UCLA but Stanford is just another 5 levels in terms of academics. In the end, it's his decision and I wish him the best.
Not if you are confident in yourself. You don’t need a school name to validate.
The original whole idea of school sports is to have guys like Myles on your team and attending your school. The system is so corrupted that when we see a kid like Myles we say how great of a student he is and all that. Big time sports is so corrupt that guys like Myles are few and far between and they really should be the rule , not the exception . It’s a sad and corrupt system.
You can’t single out student athletes in that take. There are millions of young people attending college who really shouldn’t be there, and will start out in life with worthless degrees and a mountain of debt. Is it any wonder they are so prone to embracing socialism?
Because this is a sports board , not a place to gripe about sociology majors
Hey. If I did everything I had been raised to believe was the right thing to do for my future, got good grades in high school, went to an expensive, well regarded University, and then had nothing to show for it but a worthless piece of paper and a mountain of debt, I might think socialism is a more just system too. It doesn’t take much imagination to understand why so many young people today might feel like they’ve been duped for profit. Of course the universities are teaching them that it’s all the banks’ fault, which is ridiculous. But that’s a whole other discussion.
Not to get too political.. but it all goes back to expanding the curricula of colleges into social "sciences". If every college student had to major in, essentially, reading, writing and arithmetic... they'd all come out with some form of marketable skills.
Good luck to Myles.. he'll be great.. and UCLA better support his engineering as much as his basketball.
