Even the UConn message board denizens are panicking. Usually, the die-hard fanboys brush these reports off as the media trying to take a program down, but the 6-month investigation was meticulously reported – down to phone calls Calhoun made to Nochimson, the agent – and almost makes one wonder if perhaps last week’s mystery illness that put Calhoun in the hospital may have been a byproduct of this story.

Miles, an academic basketcase who hopscotched to five high schools in four states before landing in Storrs, got in trouble almost immediately.

"Miles was a 20-year-old freshman when he finally gained his eligibility and enrolled at UConn for a summer session in June of 2008. On Sept. 22, a 19-year-old female student turned Miles into campus police, alleging that he physically and sexually assaulted her. She said that he ground his nails into her leg when she wouldn’t have sex with him, slapped her and became possessive of her. The campus police arrested Miles on Sept.25 and issued a restraining order. Within 16 minutes of being served the order, Miles called the woman. He was charged with a felony for violating a restraining order and referred to counseling which could lead to the charges being dropped. The case is pending in Connecticut superior court. On Oct. 2, before UConn held its first official practice, the university expelled Miles. Patterson, Miles’ guardian, told the Hartford Courant that the player had been “railroaded.”"

The best part? Even after he was expelled, and briefly flirted with the D-League before landing at the College of Southern Idaho, UConn kept recruiting the kid. That’s ballsy.
