NC State became Chris Miller's fifth suitor in what figures to expand into a loaded recruitment. His other early other offers, all arriving in the past six weeks, are from Bowling Green, UNLV, Miami (Ohio), and Charlotte.
After seeing snaps in one game for the Kennesaw Mountain varsity squad as a mere eighth grader, Miller emerged as the school's full-time starter under center last season, albeit for a group that recorded a 2-8 overall record.
