Basketball Myles Johnson is in the transfer portal
- Thread starter kcg88
- Start date
Correct. Still impressive though. RU’s engineering programs usually take 5 years to graduate. He did it in 4 while playing basketball, starting a nonprofit and interning at IBM.
Time for cliff to take a big step up. Thanks to Myles for being an outstanding representative of rutgers. Enjoyed watching him develop into a force!! Good luck to the young man.
Didn’t he say he already applied to a few other schools? I don’t think it’s as much of what top PAC 12 programs want him. It’s more what schools he applied to want him. He seems to know where he wants to get his graduate degree. That’s why I heard a lot of Stanford and Cal rumors.
I have zero faith in our current staff of guards coaching up our big men. That seemed to be jay young's specialty. i think most of the big steps forward johnson took were because of young.
why? You don’t think Karl Hobbs has been around college basketball enough to know how to develop players?

No problem?? Hmm. Well don’t be too sure. Got a lot to learn still
this year's Cliff yes. Next year's Cliff no
I am definitely sorry to hear that Myles is leaving but wish him all the best in his future endeavors. I have no doubt that he will be a big success in whatever paths he chooses to follow. The man brings it all to the table.
You are so so wrong here. If Harrar is the replacement we are doomed. He was that good defensively.
Dude, you're lost. What an absurd statement. Unlike just about every other program in the country of the past decade, Pikiell has had very little attrition of contributors. In 5 years, Omoruyi is the only one that had any impact that transferred. Find me one other program in the country that can say that.

Leaving or going to transfer portal? Why would he transfer? Can’t imagine he gets a better situation.
Best of luck to Miles, he has represented RU well. He is everything a student athlete should be.
There is not a basketball school in the country that would not take this young man. I would think there are several coaches at schools that do not have graduate engineering programs who are asking their presidents to start one so that they can offer Miles Johnson a scholarship.

Guess I never paid enough attention to this clown before. Noted.
Lol. We are doomed. Deep breaths. Usually I have to tell bac that!!!
Myles owes us nothing. We redshirted him and even Pike admits he could have played that year. Hindsight is 20/20 I guess. Two quick things:
1. One poster in particular who is known at this board belittled folks who felt that Myles might go elsewhere. So, that.
2. We are in deep doo doo unless Cliff takes a big leap next year and we find some gems in the transfer portal.

No one can question a transfer to either of those schools. I'd add UCLA to that list as well.
You take Young and Myles away from us defensively and we aren’t a good defensive team. We all know we are a bad offensive team
Thank goodness for the portal. I am expecting a 4-5 win B1G season. Cliff is the key to do what Myles did when Eugene left.
This must be the first (potential - please stay, Myles!) transfer of a good player in the history of college athletics that everyone is disappointed about but has zero animosity about. If that doesn't say how much respect he has earned in such a short time I don't know what can.
I can’t wait until we see Cliff even stronger running the floor next year dunking on people. All the guys need to get better that is how programs get better. Cliff will, Paul will, Caleb will, mag will, Oskar will, jaden will, Mathis will.... enough of this doom and
Gloom.
Gloom.
Cliff was our star recruit. He was our center of the future anyway. He should be much better next year. Get a decent backup in the portal and move on.
If we want to keep Jersey kids home that come from major
programs we have to demonstrate the following : 'If you stay
you will play' Cliff has to play
I’ll admit that I often found myself frustrated by Myles probably more than I should have been. The early foul trouble wasn’t all his fault but it was constant concern. And he disappeared in a bunch of games, and looked disinterested in others.
I am super proud of him, and believe he’ll do great things in life. As a basketball player, though, he reached his ceiling. Cliff is just scratching the surface. Get a defensive guy in the portal and move forward.

We will be fine...and guess what..our defense wasnt that good this year
it kind of funny I forgot about the early foul trouble since he was better over last couple games but he was in constant foul trouble and had trouble maki g layups....
McConnell and Mathis are outstanding defensive players. Which is why Pike puts up with their shenanigans on offense
Nah I don’t think so. We play team defense. Cliff will step up. I trust pike here. My concern is rebounding but maybe knowing myles isn’t there helps us rebound as a team because overall our rebounding wasn’t great this year.
Looking forward to see Cliff develop with a lot of playing time. Not worried about this at all.
Wish you great success in everything you do in life, Myles. Thanks for your time at RU.
Wish Myles the best going forward. He was one of the pillars in the current revival of Rutgers basketball. Need some real growth from Cliff and another big who can rebound from the portal. I wonder if this factors into whether Duke comes back? Probably not.
