Cal State Fullerton head coach Dedrique Taylor announced on Friday the signing of high school seniors Karter Miller and Braeden Myrick to the Titans men’s basketball program.
The two guards, hailing from Utah and Kentucky respectively, are set to join the roster as the program emphasizes a high-tempo, transition-heavy offensive system.
Karter Miller, a 6’1 guard from Layton High School in Layton, Utah, joins the program following a prolific 2025-26 season. During that campaign, Miller led his team in four major statistical categories: points, assists, rebounds, and steals. His production reached 22.1 points, 6.2 assists, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.6 steals per game. He surpassed the 1,000-point career threshold during his junior year.
The coaching staff views Miller as a fundamental piece for their desired pace of play. “Karter and his ability to establish tempo, pace of play, and get others involved allows us to keep pushing the ball and playing one of the fastest tempos in the country,” Taylor said. Currently, in his senior season, Miller is averaging 14.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game.
Joining the backcourt is Braeden Myrick, a 6’5 guard from Covington Catholic High School in Park Hills, Kentucky. Myrick carries a strong shooting profile, having connected on 45% of his attempts from beyond the arc during his junior season. He enters his final high school year with 1,413 career points.
Myrick was a key contributor to a Covington Catholic squad that finished the 2026 season with a 31-3 record and a 9th regional title. He remains one of only two starters returning to that program.
“Braeden is a shot maker from everywhere on the floor,” Taylor said. “At the same time, Braeden’s basketball IQ and feel for the game, allow him to make plays for others, making him an extremely dangerous offensive threat.”
The addition of these two athletes is part of a broader strategy to maintain a specific culture within the Titans program.
“We are very excited to add these two young men to our program. Each of them come from winning backgrounds with winning DNA and that’s very important to us, said Dedrique Taylor, Titans men’s basketball head coach.”
Fans can access coverage of home events via ESPN+, which utilizes a dedicated production studio at Titan Stadium. Similar broadcast standards are maintained across the Big West Conference for road games.
