Breaking down the latest LSU basketball commitment

Earlier this week, coach Matt McMahon received yet another big-time recruiting win, this time by flipping former Oregon pledge Vyctorius Miller over to the Tigers. The talented class of 2024 shooting guard is now the third LSU basketball commitment of the cycle.

Vyctorius Miller becomes latest LSU basketball commitment

It feels like just yesterday when talented four-star shooting guard Vyctorius Miller made what we thought would be a final decision on his future college.

At the time, he elected to sign with the University of Oregon, and it had the looks of just another recruiting loss for coach Matt McMahon and the Tigers. However, as of this week, things have taken quite the turn, and after getting out of his National Letter of Intent with the Ducks, Miller is officially set to make his way down to Baton Rouge for the 2024 school year.

With the commitment of Vyctorius Miller, LSU now has 3 top 75 players in the 2024 class 🔥

A product out of Chandler, AZ, Miller is one of the top players nationally, and had an offer list to match. Having received interest from big-time programs such as Arizona, Georgetown, Oregon, UCLA and USC, staying in PAC-12 country was the most likely option for the high four-star recruit.

However, the No. 53 player nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite has officially chosen the purple and gold over Gonzaga, Oregon and USC, among others, and in turn, coach Matt McMahon has secured one of the top offensive threats in the country.

What the class of 2024 shooting guard is bringing to Baton Rouge

When taking a look at Vyctorius Miller as an overall basketball prospect, it’s not hard to see his upside as far as offensive ability goes. The AZ Compass Prep shooting guard can shoot from just about anywhere on the floor, and has some impressive ability to adjust mid-air around the rim.

As a senior this past season, the 6-foot-5, 170-pounder averaged 13.5 points and 1.8 steals per game in eight appearances for his high school, which included a 32-point outing vs. Skyline Prep.

While his totals won’t always pop from a stat sheet perspective, it’s his shooting percentages that truly standout and display his potential for the next level. Out of the 25 three-point shots he attempted during the 2023-24 season, he completed an impressive 48 percent, while making 55 percent of his attempts from within the arc.

While it might not be reasonable to expect much in terms of starting minutes with the Tigers during his freshman season, he certainly has the potential to come in and be an immediate scoring threat off the bench during the 2024-25 season.

Vyctorius Miller has officially joined a Tiger class of 2024 that includes two fellow four-star recruits (point guard Curtis Givens III and forward Robert Miller), as well as a big-time transfer portal addition in former Kansas State shooting guard Cam Carter.
