Virginia Tech announces Temple transfer Hysier Miller 'permanently released' from Hokies roster

One of Virginia Tech‘s top transfer additions this offseason won’t be able to help in 2024-25, with the Hokies announcing guard Hysier Miller is no longer with the program.

Miller was a point guard transfer from Temple, where he turned into a star last season.

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound guard averaged 15.9 points per game for the Owls last season, while also averaging 4.0 assists, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game. He could seriously fill up the stat sheet.

Virginia Tech’s statement didn’t provide many illuminating details on Hysier Miller’s departure from the program, noting only that he “has been permanently released” from the team “due to circumstances prior to his enrollment at Virginia Tech.”

The program noted that it would not have further comment on the matter.

Hysier Miller was a senior who had gotten in three full seasons of college basketball action.

He first appeared on the scene at Temple in 2021-22, when he averaged 18.8 minutes per contest, starting in eight of his 23 appearances. He finished the year with 4.9 points and 2.0 rebounds per game.

He improved considerably as a sophomore, jumping to 8.6 points, 3.8 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game. Then, of course, the explosion during his junior season last year.

During his career, Hysier Miller is a 35.7% field goal shooter and a 30.7% 3-point shooter. He shoots 77.6% from the free-throw line.
