Report: Adam Miller sets commitment announcement date

LSU transfer Adam Miller is set to make his decision regarding his plans for next season on May 13, according to Jon Rothstein. Miller is set to decide between returning to the Tigers or leaving for TCU.

Miller’s 2021-22 season was over before it began, suffering a torn ACL in the summer after a solid freshman season at Illinois. He averaged 8.3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game in 25.5 minutes per contest to help the Fighting Illini to a Big Ten Tournament championship and a No. 1 seed in the 2021 NCAA Tournament before entering the transfer portal and ending up at LSU for last season.

The former Fighting Illini guard’s injury has allowed him to remain eligible for at least three more years thanks to the COVID-19 eligibility waiver, and whether that’s with the Tigers or Horned Frogs remains to be seen. Either way, Miller will step into a brand new system following the firing of former LSU head coach Will Wade and massive post-season exodus from the majority of the roster.

LSU roster situation is coming into focus

Matt McMahon took over for Will Wade this offseason after spending the last seven years at Murray State. After he took over, all 13 scholarship players from the 2021-22 season either entered the transfer portal or declared for the 2022 NBA Draft. So far, Justice Williams and Mwani Wilkinson opted to come back, and the Tigers also landed some big-time transfers. NC State transfer Cam Hayes is in the fold, as are former Murray State guards Trae Hannibal and Justice Hill.

LSU is coming off an NCAA Tournament appearance under Wade, who was fired after LSU received a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA. The Tigers went 22-12 overall and 9-9 in SEC action before falling to Iowa State in March Madness.
