Dwan McMillan discusses his decision to attend South Florida

Dwan McMillan of St. Benedict's Prep School

After dining with coach Stan Heath and his wife, Ramona, at their home in the Sunshine State on Saturday, Dwan McMillan, a basketball player at St. Benedict's, was convinced that South Florida was just the right fit.

The 6-0 point guard from Bed-Stuy verbally committed to South Florida - the only school to which he made an official visit - over Cincinnati and Providence.

McMillan, who played his first three years at Boys & Girls, transferred to the Newark hoops powerhouse in 2006. This year he helped lead the school's prep squad (home to the school's fifth-year seniors) to a Prep 'A' state title, averaging 14 points, seven assists, five rebounds and three steals.

Despite the fact that his brother, Devon (Fatty) McMillan, plays for Lincoln, Dwan admits he was rooting for his former teammates as they struggled against the Railsplitters in last week's PSAL city championship. Here, McMillan recounts his visit with the Heaths, and explains why he chose to begin college in Tampa next fall.

"(South Florida) made me feel at home and the coach's wife reminded me of my mother, the way she talked to me and made me feel comfortable. She was talking to me as if she knew me.

"At one point during breakfast, my phone rang and she was like, 'Oh, your girlfriend can wait,' just joking around, then my phone rang again and no name came up on the ID, and she was like, 'Oh, she must not be important.'

"It wasn't just that, though. Coach Heath told me that I would be able to play as a freshman. The whole thing seemed perfect."

Should we be concerned that he looks a LOT like Gary Coleman from his "Dif'rent Strokes" days? ;D
