Miller one of four SEC players invited to USA trials

UK sophomore-to-be Darius Miller is one of four Southeastern Conference players invited to try out for the U.S. team playing in this summer’s World U19 Championships.

The others are Terrico White of Ole Miss (the SEC freshman of the year last season), Georgia forward Howard Thompkins and Florida signee Kenny Boynton.

The USA U19 National Team Trials will be held June 16-18 at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo.

The athletes, born on or after Jan. 1, 1990, will compete for one of 12 roster spots on the 2009 USA U19 World Championship Team.

In a news release, Ole Miss Coach Andy Kennedy welcomed White’s invitation.

“This is a great opportunity for Terrico,” Kennedy said. “It’s great to see him be able to participate in these trials with the ultimate goal of representing our country in the 19 and under world championships. Not only will this experience help Terrico develop as a player, but it also benefits our program as a whole.”
