LSU loses starting guard Adam Miller to the transfer portal
LSU is going back to the drawing board after a disastrous first season under coach Matt McMahon, and that means another offseason filled with roster turnover.
The latest transfer portal casualty was Adam Miller, a redshirt sophomore guard from Peoria, Illinois. Miller started all 33 games for the Tigers in 2022-3, averaging 11.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists. Miller struggled with his shooting percentage as he shot just 34% from the field and 32% from three, but he was still one of the team’s more reliable scorers.
Originally a transfer from Illinois, Miller missed the entire 2021-22 season with a torn ACL. He entered the portal after Will Wade was fired, though McMahon convinced him to stay. Like Justice Williams, who also exited the portal last offseason, Miller seems to be moving on for good this time.

Miller becomes the sixth LSU player to enter the portal since the end of the 2022-23 season, though the addition of a pair of talented backcourt scorers in Jalen Cook and Jordan Wright should help ease the loss.
