Dailyn Swain plans to enter NCAA transfer portal
Swain’s plan to enter the portal just as head coach Sean Miller is set to take over Texas. The Longhorns recently fired Rodney Terry.
Miller heads to Texas after three seasons in his second stint at Xavier, going 65-40 over the past three seasons, including a Sweet Sixteen run in 2022-23 and a Round of 64 loss to sixth-seeded Illinois that followed an 86-80 win over Terry’s Longhorns in an 11th-seeded play-in game Thursday in Dayton.
Miller had a combined 185-87 record over eight total seasons across two separate stints leading the Musketeers, which bookended a 12-year run (2009-21) at Arizona in which the Wildcats went 302-109, including three Elite Eight runs in 2011, 2014 and 2015. Arizona also had two Sweet Sixteen runs in 2013 and 2017, though the Wildcats’ were forced to vacate 50 total wins across the 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons stemming from Miller’s alleged involvement in the NCAA’s 2019 corruption scandal.
