From Jeff Goodman's national collegate basketball blog:"Nate Miles’ departure from UConn was a significant hit for the Huskies. This is a team that has virtually everything – quality and experienced big men with Hasheem Thabeet and Jeff Adrien. One of the top point guards in the country in A.J. Price. Jerome Dyson hasn’t quite materialized into what the Huskies had been hoping since he arrived in Storrs, but Miles and Dyson together on the wing would have been a deadly combination. Jim Calhoun even has plenty of depth with Craig Austrie and talented freshman point guard Kemba Walker coming off the bench, Charles Okwandu, Gavin Edwards and Jonathan Mandeldove as big bodies to replace Thabeet and Adrien up front and big-time shooter Scottie Haralson (trust me, this kid can really shoot the ball). Calhoun is also hoping to add foreign big man Ater Majok to the fold after the first semester. But Miles was the wild-card, the X-factor. I’ve seen him play numerous times and he is exactly what UConn needed – he’s a potent scorer from the wing who is also capable of making his teammates better. However, his track record with five schools also suggested he was a risk for the Huskies. Unfortunately for Miles and the Huskies, the long and versatile 6-foot-6 Toledo, Ohio, native won’t ever get an opportunity to play a game for UConn. He was kicked out of school yesterday after an investigation whether he assaulted a female student. "
