UConn, Seton Hall, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Florida, Duke, Indiana, Purdue, Wake Forest, Virginia, Tennessee, Tulsa and Stanford were also involved to various degrees.

“Rodney is a true center who can score inside with both hands,” Oak Hill coach Steve Smith said. “He is a real presence in the lane area on both ends of the floor and a great rebounder.”

A captain at Oak Hill, Miller is a native of Laurelton, N.Y., which is in Queens. His father, Rodney Sr., said his son has a 4.0 GPA.

Miller is the first 2016 commit for head coach Jim Larranaga and staff.
