Not sure why the post at the top is locked, but...
Thanks to Miles for coming to Duke and helping us to a national title! A smart, nice kid who represented Duke so very well

A great young man I've enjoyed following over the past four years. Best of luck in the future!
Miles said something in his postgame comments along the lines of "people remember you for how you go out... this isn't how I wanted to go out. Sad for him. Hopefully we can remember for the work he put in, the progress he made from a borderline top-100 stick to solid, physically imposing, starting center, and the accomplishments he was a part of.
Wish we could have sent him off on a better note, and here's hoping he gets a shot at the next level at some point.
Very proud of Miles. Thanks for representing us so well. Best of luck in the future, you are always an important member of the family. OPK
I know the team struggled the last few games and this certainly wasn't how he wanted to end his career at Duke but I thought Miles really stepped up his game during the last few games and gave Duke 100%. I hope when he looks back he can feel proud of how he played during his time at Duke. I enjoyed watching him and wish him the best of luck!
Thank you Miles for a great 4 years. Sorry it ended this way but you also have a national championship. Duke is definitely going to miss you and so are the fans.
Miles,
You said in the post game presser last night, that people only remember you for how you left. Not true. For me anyway. I will remember you as an important cog on a National Championship team, and a 3 Time ACC Champion. No one can ever take away those Championships son. You have 1 NCAA Belt, and 3 ACC Belt's, wear them with pride Miles, wear them with pride!
Now go work hard and make a NBA team!
Thanks Miles for 4 great years and 4 great championships!
(me too) THANK YOU MILES!!! I, too, will not remember you for this last game and "how you left". I will remember you as a player without a coach (Stanford), and came to Duke after you accompanied Mason on his recruiting visit to Duke and "liked what you saw". From your first day at Duke, I followed you, and will remember all of the trials and tribulations you went through over a great 4-year career at Duke.
Miles, many thanks for all your contributions to the basketball program while you've been at Duke. Best of luck to you as you move onto the next phase in your life. Also, thanks again to you, Mason, and Marshall for giving my high school age son a thrill when he had has picture taken with you three at the Southpoint Mall food court that evening awhile back...very kind of you guys. Suffice it to say that you'll definitely be missed.
Thank you, Miles, for 4 fantastic years! I appreciate all you did. Best of luck with all of your future endeavors.
Thank you Miles. It was a joy to watch you grow as a player during your four years at Duke. I wish you the best on your future endeavors. I hope at least on GM has the foresight to realize what an asset you'd be to an NBA team.

Big Thanks, Miles.
it was great to have you here. way to lift your game the last few weeks!!!
I'm finally getting a chance to watch the post game press conference. Miles, you said that people will remember you for the last thing you did. You are correct. I will remember you for how well you handled yourself in this press conference. Hold your head up high. From what I have seen, you are a remarkable young man who has great things ahead of him.
Miles, win or lose, it has been our honor to have you as a representative of Duke University. In so many games the big numbers weren't there, but we recognize the fact that the team would not have won without your presence in the game. Hustle and heart don't always show up in the stat line, but it's magical when both pay big dividends (22 boards!).
Best of luck to you in all your future endeavors.
