As a true freshman in the 2024-25 campaign, Miller played in all 32 of LSU's games. He started eight times and averaged 4.5 points in 15.7 minutes per outing.
Robert Miller III played high school basketball at Pasadena Memorial (TX), where he was a four-star prospect. He was the No. 66 overall player and No. 8 power forward in the 2024 recruiting cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Rankings.
Miller is the eighth LSU player who has entered the transfer portal this offseason. LSU fired head coach Matt McMahon in March and replaced him with Will Wade . Wade was NC State 's head coach this past season, but was LSU's HC from 2017-22.
LSU fired Wade in 2022 after the NCAA formally served LSU a notice of allegations based on investigative reports of Wade's recruiting violations. Wade coached at McNeese State for two seasons before NC State hired him.

Wade led the Wolfpack to a 20-14 overall record and a 10-8 mark in conference play this past season. The program was eliminated in the First Four of the NCAA Tournament. Now, Wade is returning to Baton Rouge and he's determined to succeed.
"Make no mistake, this is home," Wade said. "I wasn't born in Louisiana, but Louisiana's home for me, and me and my family and so, you know, we're coming back to make history. We're gonna make history one way or the other … to try to hang a banner, win a national championship.
"Or, I'm going to be the first coach fired from the same school twice. But one way or another, one way or another, we're going to make history."
The NCAA Transfer Portal officially opened on April 7 and closes on April 21. The new 15-day window was enacted following a recommendation by the men's basketball oversight committee. Athletes don't have to commit to a new school by the April 21 deadline.
