LSU<\/a> forward Robert Miller III<\/a> has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal. He has two seasons of eligibility remaining.<\/p>\n

Miller made 31 appearances and two starts for the Tigers this past season. He averaged 6.1 points and 3.9 rebounds in 19.4 minutes per game. The 6-foot-10 forward shot 65.7% from the field and 0-1 on his lone 3-point attempt of the season.<\/p>\n

As a true freshman in the 2024-25 campaign, Miller played in all 32 of LSU\u2019s games. He started eight times and averaged 4.5 points in 15.7 minutes per outing.<\/p>\n

Robert Miller III played high school basketball at Pasadena Memorial (TX), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 66 overall player and No. 8 power forward in the 2024 recruiting cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings.<\/p>\n

Miller is the eighth LSU player who has entered the transfer portal this offseason. LSU fired head coach Matt McMahon<\/a> in March and replaced him with Will Wade<\/a>. Wade was NC State<\/a>\u2018s head coach this past season, but was LSU\u2019s HC from 2017-22.<\/p>\n

LSU fired Wade in 2022 after the NCAA formally served LSU a notice of allegations based on investigative reports of Wade\u2019s recruiting violations. Wade coached at McNeese State<\/a> for two seasons before NC State hired him.<\/p>\n

Wade led the Wolfpack to a 20-14 overall record and a 10-8 mark in conference play this past season. The program was eliminated in the First Four of the NCAA Tournament. Now, Wade is returning to Baton Rouge and he\u2019s determined to succeed.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake no mistake, this is home,\u201d\u00a0Wade said.<\/a>\u00a0\u201cI wasn\u2019t born in Louisiana, but Louisiana\u2019s home for me, and me and my family and so, you know, we\u2019re coming back to make history. We\u2019re gonna make history one way or the other \u2026 to try to hang a banner, win a national championship.<\/p>\n

\u201cOr, I\u2019m going to be the first coach fired from the same school twice. But one way or another, one way or another, we\u2019re going to make history.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NCAA Transfer Portal officially opened on April 7 and closes on April 21. The new 15-day window was enacted following a recommendation by the men\u2019s basketball oversight committee. Athletes don\u2019t have to commit to a new school by the April 21 deadline.<\/p>\n
