Heading into the first Under Armour Association event in New York last spring, Miller Kopp held offers from Murray State, Rice, UT-Arlington and Youngstown State. In two games for the Houston Defenders that weekend, Kopp put up 37 points on 41 shots. Efficient or not, that was enough for Chris Collins.
“He said all it took was one time for him to see me play and he knew I was his guy, a guy he wanted to coach,” Kopp told Inside NU.
Collins may have been the first major coach to take note of Kopp’s talent, but he certainly wasn’t the last.
