Peoria native leaves Arizona State and returns to NCAA basketball transfer portal: Report

Adam Miller is back in the transfer portal.

The Peoria native and former Manual basketball player will transfer after two seasons at Arizona State, according to a Sunday report from Sam Kayser of League Ready.

Miller, 23, also played one season at Illinois and another at LSU. He has one season of eligibility because his freshman season was affected by the COVID pandemic.

The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 9.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists for the 2024-25 Sun Devils, who went 13-20 and lost in the first round of the inaugural College Basketball Crown tournament. He shot 42.9 percent (57-for-133) from 3-point range.

Miller began his college career at Illinois, averaging 8.3 points in 29 games his freshman season in 2020-21. He then transferred to LSU of the SEC, but missed his sophomore season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. In his return, Miller averaged 11.5 points in 33 games in the 2022-23 season with LSU.

Miller committed to Illinois from Chicago Morgan Park, where he played his final three seasons of high school basketball and earned 2020 Illinois Mr. Basketball. He played at Manual his freshman season.

After his freshman season in Champaign, Miller played for the United States in the 2021 FIBA Under-19 World Cup in Latvia. He then transferred to LSU after fielding offers from programs like Kentucky and Michigan.

This is Miller's fourth trip into the NCAA transfer portal. In 2022, he removed his name and returned to LSU.
