Well so much for defending the heck out of Miller's game. DJ was WAY BETTER!!!!!! 
Adam Miller transfers to LSU

This transfer portal idea with no year sitting out really works. Unreal
If this is accurate about the tickets, they are trash. Ayo has been here for 3 years and is leaving. Adam just got here. Of all the reasons to transfer, this would have to be one of the most idiotic.
Yeah. What’s next? Trades???
Letting the players choose teams, no offers required.

Well, covid gave the NCAA a reason to try out this no sit out rule, and it will give them nice cover (I'd guess) for never doing allowing it again.

Yeah, you'd think they'd see that treatment and know they're a couple months away from being treated like royalty. Oh well. What fun would the world be if everybody were rational?!?
He was never going to be a point guard like Frazier.
So can someone shed some light on just how the Transfer Portal thing works????....If AM has entered the Portal does he still retain his scholarship and position on the team until he signs with another school????......or is his scholarship open now.....this could put BU and the coaching staff in a very difficult position if they offer Tyty or NB a scholarship and weeks later AM decides to withdraw his name from the Portal and return to UI.....seems like this new transfer option could get very complicated going forward

They have pro options overseas and the potential to make a nice living. Not multi-million $s a year nice, but a good living while playing basketball.

One thing that sticks out here...mediocrity
I can't imagine with this many players in the portal that many will find a better situation than they left. Griffin seemed to slip further into the Syracuse bench this year.
Miller should have tried to develop the skills over the next year or two.

The things people believe are unreal...he was given every opportunity this year...not close to a one and done.....you want to be the man at NIU or Bradley have at it...your not a 1 and done (not remotely close)...wish him the best I just hope he’s not getting garbage fed to him that he’s NBA ready and he was held back cause that sure as heck wasn’t the case

It's definitely someone else's fault he didn't have the season he planned on.
I'm altogether unsure that he'll find a better path elsewhere.

From what I can find, we are not obligated to take him back - the scholly is open for use as soon as he entered the portal. Per the linked article:
How does the NCAA transfer portal work?
The busiest place for basketball news this offseason has been, without a doubt, the NCAA transfer portal. It seems as though players are entering and exiting the portal on a daily basis, and UNLV has been no exception — eight of the Rebels’ returning scholarship players have put their names ...

Miller could play a larger role on many, many teams. This is all part of the reemergence of Illini basketball.
Minor nit: Meacham is from Champaign and played for Centennial. You're thinking of Brett Melton maybe?

Obviously losing AM sucks, but the saddest part for me is the feeling that the days of Illinois being a homegrown Illinois player powerhouse are firmly over. Ayo and AM gave me some hope that the magic of the 80s/90s + the Peoria pipeline might be back on. I just watched a video on the Flyin Illini this morning and the narrator (or Bardo...easily get them mixed up with his job these days) talked about having a bunch of hard-nosed Chicago boys on the team that year. That was awesome, but I don't expect we'll see it again.
Alright, enough sad sacking. I have no doubt that BU will reload and have us competitive again next year. Just hope this roller coaster ride is survivable until we get there!
