Miller Kopp’s commitment to Mike Woodson’s first Indiana team was perhaps one of the earliest signs of the major recruiting shift that was to take place.
Indiana needed a player with length who could address the team’s pitiful 3-point shooting, and Woodson went out and got one of the best players available from a team in his own conference.
Revisiting Mike Miller’s CQ write up after Kopp first committed, he was the second leading scorer on a Northwestern team that had beaten Indiana at home the year before. He came to Indiana with three years of Big Ten experience averaging 10.
