According to ESPN's Jonathan Givony, Baba Miller has committed to the Florida State Seminoles. 

"I could see an actual family at Florida State," Miller told the US media giant. "I saw a very close relationship between everyone. That was a big part of my decision."

The 18-year-old, 2.08-meter small forward from Spain is one of the top international prospects in the class of 2022, committing to the college route.

According to the report, he chose Florida State over Gonzaga after visiting both schools with his father last week.

Miller has been a member of Real Madrid since he was 12 years old. He and the team won the prestigious Adidas Next Generation Tournament.

Miller spent the majority of the season in the EBA league with Real Madrid's B team, averaging 11.3 points and 5.3 rebounds in 24 minutes per game.

Due to a COVID-19 outbreak, he was unexpectedly called up to the senior team in December and even made his EuroLeague debut as a 17-year-old in a game against CSKA Moscow.

"There was a moment in my career that I did want to stay in Europe, but lately I decided 100% I wanted to go to the U.S. to get better, especially physically and technically," Miller said.

"Europe is a place to compete, not to develop. In the United States if you don't play you're going to develop in practice and individual sessions. That's something you don't usually do in Europe. It wasn't a very difficult decision for me."
