Oklahoma transfer guard Duke Miles commits to Virginia
Oklahoma transfer guard Duke Miles committed to Virginia, he told On3’s Joe Tipton. He finished third on the Sooners’ roster in scoring this past season.
Miles averaged 9.4 points per game and shot a team-leading 43% from three-point territory as Oklahoma made it to the NCAA Tournament. He previously started his career at High Point and Troy, but will now head to Charlottesville for his final year of eligibility under new coach Ryan Odom.
Prior to his arrival in Norman this past season, Miles had a standout year at High Point in 2023-24. He averaged 17.5 points per game while adding 2.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists on average across 33 games, including 27 starts. He then cemented himself as a starter under Porter Moser while averaging 24.6 minutes per game.

Duke Miles played high school basketball at Montgomery (Ala.) Percy L. Julian. After entering the transfer portal this cycle, he became the No. 79 overall player and No. 5-ranked combo guard in the On3 Industry Transfer Rankings.
Miles is the third transfer addition for Odom at UVA after taking over for Tony Bennett as head coach. The Cavaliers notably landed a commitment from coveted guard Jacari White, who chose Virginia over programs such as Texas, Ole Miss and Virginia Tech.

Former Toledo guard Sam Lewis is also on his way to Charlottesville after a breakout season with the Rockets. He averaged 16.2 points while adding 4.7 rebounds per game, which means Odom is bringing yet another scoring threat to Virginia.
Virginia underwent a surprise coaching change just before the 2024-25 season got underway when Bennett announced his retirement. Ron Sanchez served as the interim head coach, leading the Cavaliers to a 15-17 overall record and an 8-12 mark in ACC play.
After the season, UVA announced Sanchez would not return as the full-time head coach and the school opted to bring in Odom from VCU. The Rams won the Atlantic 10 Conference regular season and tournament to earn a bid to the NCAA Tournament, where they fell to Wisconsin in the first round.
