Miami has landed a commitment from former LSU forward Robert Miller, giving the Hurricanes another experienced frontcourt piece through the transfer portal.
The 6-foot-10, 230-pound forward heads to Coral Gables after spending the first two seasons of his college career with the Tigers. Coming out of Pasadena Memorial High School in Pasadena, Texas, Miller was one of the most sought-after prospects in the country. He finished as a four-star recruit, the No. 81 overall player nationally, and the No. 2 player in Texas, a state known for producing high-level basketball talent.
Now in the transfer portal, Miller arrives at Miami as the No. 221 overall transfer and the No. 42 power forward in the class.
During the 2025-26 season at LSU, Miller appeared in 31 games, averaging 6.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 19.4 minutes per game. He shot 65.7 percent from the field and 69.9 percent from the free-throw line, while also averaging 1.4 blocks and 0.9 steals per game. His defensive production made him one of the SEC’s better rim protectors, and his ability to defend made him a valuable piece for the Tigers.
As a freshman, Miller averaged 4.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 0.7 assists in 15.7 minutes per game. He connected on 61.5 percent of his shots from the floor while adding 0.9 blocks and 0.4 steals per contest, showing early signs of the player he would become.
Miller joins a Miami roster that has been completely rebuilt through the transfer portal. The Hurricanes have added Acaden Lewis from Villanova, Somto Cyril from Georgia, Brent Bland from Saint Peter’s, Nick Dorn from Indiana, DeSean Goode from Robert Morris, Quinn Berger from Bucknell, LSU transfer Robert Miller, and international big man Egor Ryzhov, while also bringing in Chris Birden Jr. and returning Shelton Henderson and Dante Allen.
His commitment also comes at an important time for Miami. Marcus Allen will miss the season after suffering a torn ACL, while Michigan transfer LJ Casen is also expected to sit out. Adding another experienced big man helps strengthen Miami’s depth heading into the season.
Miller may not have been the biggest name in the portal, but his size, SEC experience, efficient scoring, and defensive ability give Miami another player capable of making an impact right away. For a Hurricanes team looking to take a step forward, adding a proven frontcourt player like Robert Miller is another solid move.
