Pioneer coaches excited about adding University of Michigan recruit Ricardo Miller and his brother, Chazz, to their programs

Jeremy Gold isn't the only Pioneer High School coach excited about the family of Ricardo Miller moving from Orlando and into the school's district.

Gold is thrilled to have a 6-foot-2, Big Ten-caliber receiver drop into his football program. But Rex Stanczak is also excited about Chazz Miller, a sophomore-to-be basketball player who stands at 6-foot-6 with growing to do (he wears size 18 shoes).

As reported in the Detroit Free Press, the Miller family spent two weeks in the Ann Arbor area, looking for a place to call home as Ricardo prepares to enroll at the University of Michigan.

Earlier reports indicated Ricardo Miller would join his future Michigan teammate, wide receiver Jeremy Jackson, at Huron High School.

"When you get somebody of Ricardo’s caliber, you definitely are going to welcome him with open arms into your building and program," Gold said. "And I don’t think we’ll have any issues with our kids accepting him. He's a great kid and our kids enjoy him. They're looking forward to working with him."

"Hopefully he can elevate our game to another level."

Miller is the No. 24 wide receiver prospect in the nation, according to Rivals, and was Michigan’s first commitment in the class of 2010.

While his brother's athletic ability is well-documented (see the highlight video above from his junior season at Dr. Phillip High School), Stanczak is excited about helping Chazz Miller develop his game over the next three seasons.

"I can't tell you how good of a player he is, because I haven't seen him play," Stanczak said. "But he's big, he's a great kid and he has outstanding genes considering the level of athlete his brother is."

Stanczak has exchanged emails with some people in Orlando familiar with Chazz and has heard that he is "a very willing pupil, very coachable."

That type of personality trait fits in with the coaches' brief exposure to the family. They said Ricardo and Chazz are strong students (their mother, Ann, stresses academics over athletics) and strikingly well-mannered.

"They're a great family and Ricardo is a humble kid and hard worker," Gold said.

Stanczak was impressed during a tour of the Pioneer facilities with the family and athletic director Lorin Cartwright.

"One of them opened every door for her," Stanczak said. "That's something you don't see all the time with young guys."
