For Nicole Miller, her son’s journey from high school star to gold medal winner to national champion seemed both long and quick. However, like University of Kentucky fans, she’s extremely proud of what Darius Miller accomplished during his four years at Kentucky that culminated with the Wildcats winning the national title April 2 in New Orleans. “We are just really trying to get back to a normal life now and getting caught up on our rest,” said Nicole Miller. “But we are still so excited for Darius and the team. It was a great, great run and everybody had so much fun. “It seemed liked a long journey at times, but it also seems like it went so fast. I am ready for the next chapter in his life, and Iżam sure he is, too. But this year was so exciting and so much fun to watch, especially with the season ending with the national championship.” Her son was a Mr. Basketball at Mason County who led his team to a state title. At UK, he helped the United States win a gold medal in international play after his sophomore season. Now he has a national championship. No other in-state player can boast that he has all four of those things on his basketball resume.

My question is not about the in-state player as he is the only one...........
But is there anyone else NATIONALLY who can claim the same thing.... State Mr Basketball, HS State Champion, Olympic Gold Medal, and NCAA National Title?????

It just makes me so happy for him to think of what he has gone through to get to this point now. Came out of highschool a champion and a star. Had to deal with a disappointing and struggling freshmen year in the NIT. To his final year, final game, winning it all. What a journey he has been on.
