Reports are that the NCAA hammer will come down on UConn mens basketball program for recruiting violations concerning an unnamed recruit, believed to be the nomadic former San Antonio Cornerstone Christian basketball player, Nate Miles, who never ended up playing at UConn due to an expulsion for violating a protective order against a women who claimed Miles assaulted her.

Miles ended up playing for a junior college in Idaho, declared for the NBA draft (but wasn't drafted) and played for an NBA developmental team before being released.
