Nate Miles Resurfaces at the College of Southern Idaho

Nate Miles, the 6-foot-7 forward who was supposed to play a major role for the UConn Huskies this season has resurfaced.

Miles started classes and will play for the College of Southern Idaho, a community college in Twin Falls, ID with one of top basketball programs in the nation.

Miles, 20, was kicked out of the University of Connecticut earlier this month for an alleged assault on a female student and for violating a restraining order, which has since been dismissed.

According to the Hartford Courant, “Miles is likely to attempt to clear his name and re-enroll at UConn for the fall semester of 2009. ‘We looked into Nate’s situation and saw an opportunity for him to play for us in the second semester,’ coach Steve Gosar told espn.com. ‘Nate really wants to play this year. He said if an opportunity was there for him to play, that’s what he wanted. We have an open scholarship.’”

However, Miles won’t play his first game until Feb. 6. That’s because junior college rules require that he serve a 16-week probationary period.
