So much for wanting to be a winner if this is the case.

When the NCAA allowed this, you knew it was going to be the wild west. We're not immune. Hopefully he's the only one.

I had the same thought the other day. I was skeptical that he was just going to step into the Ayo star role, when skill-wise he seems like more of a defensive stopper/3-point shooter that can drive to the hoop once in a while.
Either way did not see this coming.

I think this goes from reload to rebuild, but not rebuild in the traditional sense. The transfer portal will give us a leg up from the traditional rebuild with high schoolers over a couple years. This is all about making sure we get the right players to come in.
I think players should have the freedom to move colleges, but this takes a lot of fun out of college basketball.

In a short amount of time we've gone from prospects not wanting to sign because of returning players at their position to starters not staying because of possible prospects at their position. Welcome to lllini recruiting ladies and gentleman.
Kofi the only player on the roster that decides that imo. This team can still be very good.
We all know that 18 to 19 year old's do things that are not always the most thought out sort of decisions. I love AM's game, and I hate to see him leave, but entering your name in the portal does not mean that he is leaving. It just increases the possibility of leaving. Whatever, this is a very strange year, and it will be interesting to see what next year's team looks like.
GL AM.
Trust this staff, we're gonna be fine.

Can't believe Miller is transferring. Guess starting every game as a freshman wasn't good enough. lol
Come back from the ledge BL.

College Bball is tough these days. Imagine having to go out and find, interview/vet and land 30-50%% of your staff every year. Yes, they get paid alot, but boy no sleep for the weary.
That's it - forget this one and done stuff - lets go for the six and done guys! Who's with me!!!???

I honestly thought this was an April Fools joke. Many have said that he would we hard pressed to find a team better equipped for him. As a freshman he started every game. Defense was ahead of his offense but I was looking forward to year two. More open looks, more driving to the basket & playing a bigger role. I did see some moping on the bench but I also saw a guy jumping in the air in celebration before Ayo dunked the ball or before kofi dunked. I remember curbelo stripping a player in the Iowa game & Miller was the closest person to curbelo on the breakaway dunk. Miller was screaming in celebration. I knew there would be defections but this one hurts.
Cross off anywhere thats “cold” for where he ends up.
Yes, I know how absurd this sounds.

If Coleman Hawkins' Twitter account is accurate, he finds this as strange as we do

In 25 years we will be talking about Ayo with fond memories still. In 5 years we'll talk about what's his name, that Adam Miller kid. Just like with JCL. He had the opportunity to build a nice legacy here, but I guess he wasn't interested.

Is this legit or tongue-in-cheek Boriquen pride for a fellow islander? Was hoping AM would be around for a couple years, Plummer just has a season of eligibility I believe.
Seems like that opportunity would be available next year if he was capable.
Should’ve done more than stand in one of the two corners and chuck up a 3.
Did anyone else notice he seemed to miss most of his three's he took when he didn't go up with a straight back. Maybe just something I thought I saw.
In recruiting always expect us to come out on the wrong end. It’s easier that way.

Lucky for us this is the LARGEST/BEST "Free Agent" group of ALL TIME! 3***/4****/5***** all over the place! And...many more to come!
Drew @drew_cayce had one too

Miller: don't think he could have been afforded a better opportunity. Don't like him bailing, but c'est la vie. Not Underwood or the program's fault.
