Wake Forest PG Kevin Miller commits to SMU
SMU Basketball landed a big-time transfer portal target over the weekend as Wake Forest point guard Kevin “Boopie” Miller committed to the Mustangs. He’ll have two years of eligibility remaining.
The 6-foot sophomore averaged 15.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game this season. The Chicago native shot 36.9 percent from three-point range while starting all 35 games this season.
His conference-high in points came in a 27-point outburst against Miami while he scored a season-high 31 points against App State in the NIT. Against LSU, he notched a season-high eight assists and eight rebounds.
This year, Miller, who visited SMU this weekend, earned an Academic All-ACC honor, maintaining a 3.0 or better grade point average for the fall semester and cumulatively.
Miller transferred into the Demon Deacons program last offseason, after playing the first two years of his career at Central Michigan. At Central Michigan, he averaged 13.8 points, 4.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game.
For his career, he’s averaged 32.6 minutes, 14.7 points, 4.1 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game as a career 44.9 percent field goal shooter.
In the 2021 class, On3 ranked him as a four-star prospect, coming in as the No. 103 overall prospect in the country and No. 11 combo guard nationally.
With Miller on board, SMU now has transfer commitments from three players. Oregon guard Kario Oquendo and Long Beach State guard AJ George are committed to the Mustangs.
SMU guards Jalen Smith, Denver Anglin, Zhuric Phelps and Ricardo Wright are in the transfer portal. SMU forwards Xavier Foster and Mo Njie entered the portal as well.
