Sheridan College
Available Sophomores
Coaches, as the season winds
down, we wanted to send you some information on our available sophomores that
are still open to recruitment.
We have four sophomores that
are still very open to recruitment at this point in time, that we wanted to
highlight. Several of these players aren’t getting as much recruitment as they
would have if 3 of our other players didn’t sign D1 during the early period
(Alston to St. Bonaventure, Dure to Arkansas State, Rodriguez to Nevada).
Please let us know if you have any interest or questions for the following
players. I’ve included full-game and highlight links (where applicable) for
each player below. If you need more film on DVD we’d be happy to send out. The
easiest & quickest way is to send an email to ssmiley@sheridan.edu or call me at
307-674-6446 x 4000.
We appreciate your interest
in our players! Coach Smiley…

Coach Smiley’s comments:
“Jeff was an extremely multi-dimensional player in our system this season,
playing anywhere from the 1-4. His primary position is on the wing, but he can
create for others, and his strength allows him to play a 3 or 4 at the next
level as well. He has the ability to get to the rim and finish, and also shoots
well from the 3. He’s also a great rebounding guard and really is good guarding
on the ball.”

Coach Smiley’s comments: “Kyi
was stuck for most of the season behind several D1 players, but when he was
given an opportunity late in the year, he seized the opportunity to be our top
defender and never relinquished a starting spot. Kyi’s a phenomenal athlete,
strong and explosive, and can guard a multitude of different players.
Offensively, as he simplified his game later in the year, he really started to
blossom. He’s a capable 3-point shooter and really hard to guard when he
attacks the rim. Kyi’s another terrific rebounder as a big guard.”

Coach Smiley’s comments: “One
of my all-time favorite players. Was a team-first player during his entire
career as he played limited minutes behind several D1 players. After a losing
streak late in the season, we gave Tate a chance to start and run the show and
he far exceeded our expectations, helping us to win 9 straight games before our
season ending loss in the Final 4 of the Regional. Tate is a great shooter from
3, crafty at getting to the rim or hitting the pull-up, and has a very good
Assist:TO ratio. Tate has a great feel for the game, doesn’t put himself in bad
situations on the floor, and makes others around him better.”
Taylor Millay:
Hometown: Casper, WY
Height & Weight: 6’7”,
260
Position: Post
Academics: Will have 48
transferable
Projected level: D2 / NAIA
Key Stats: 236lb Bench, 475lb
Squat. Shoots 50% from the field.
One of our top Rebounders per
30 minutes played, but stats are low because playing behind several mid-level
D1 players.
Coach Smiley’s comments: “I
truly believe Taylor is a diamond in the rough, with the lack of true post
players available. He would be an absolute steal in the NAIA and would be a
good D2 post player for sure in the right system. Taylor prefers to play back
to basket, but also can face up from 10’-15’, runs the floor well, is physical
& tough, and is a good rebounder. I was disappointed that we weren’t able
to get Taylor more quality minutes this year (played behind 3 posts that will
all go D1), but he is well worth a D2 or NAIA taking.”
