We came away very impressed with Miamba’s play at the Metro Indy Fall League. The junior at South Bend St. Joseph looked to have gotten a bit bigger and stronger since watching him over the summer while maintaining his fluid athleticism and two-way versatility. Miamba really stood out on the boards with a few athletic rebounds and on the rim-run with some athletic finishes in transition. Look for him to really make an impact in the South Bend St. Joseph frontcourt as the reigning Class 3A State Champions transition up to Class 4A.
