Miles sticks with original decision

Cyler Miles made the Washington faithful sweat it out but the four-star dual-threat quarterback from Denver (Colo.) Mullen stuck with his commitment and did not switch to USC.
The 6-foot-4, 220-pound four-star recruit committed to Washington in June but when offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier left for Alabama, schools started approaching Miles again and he listened to a few of them.

USC aggressively went after Miles, who took a visit to Los Angeles and had an in-home visit with Trojans' coaches. It got him thinking.
In recent days, the four-star was torn between both programs and on Wednesday, Miles said he had letters of intent from both programs and was having a tough time making a decision.
Washington won out and Miles said he couldn't be happier.
"This decision was so tough because I had to separate the fluff and what's real and my heart told me what was the right choice so I stuck with that all the way," Miles said.
The Denver Mullen quarterback had an impressive performance at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl and moved all the way up to the second-best dual-threat quarterback and No. 35 prospect in the 2012 class by Rivals.com. He's No. 1 in the Colorado state rankings.
According to numerous sources, Auburn, Florida and at least two other teams had contacted Miles in recent weeks.
