Insider names West Virginia, USC, Gonzaga, among other teams as potential destination for Oklahoma transfer Duke Miles

The battle is heating up in the Duke Miles sweepstakes. Basketball insider Tobias Bass shared on Wednesday on X/Twitter the teams that are interested in acquiring the services of the Oklahoma transfer, including West Virginia, USC and Gonzaga.

Miles told The Athletic that he has heard from 11 schools since he was granted a release from his letter of intent to join the Texas A&M Aggies. Georgetown, Virginia, Tennessee, Baylor, Iowa, Vanderbilt, Arizona State and Saint Mary's have also contacted Miles apart from the Mountaineers, Trojans and Bulldogs.

Duke Miles is searching for another team after he decommitted from two programs since entering the transfer portal. He initially joined the Virginia Cavaliers on Apr. 7 before decommitting on Apr. 11. Miles then chose to commit to Texas A&M on Apr. 22 but his stay there was short-lived as well. He requested a release on May 2, with the Aggies granting that request on May 5.

Miles has one year of eligibility remaining after playing five seasons in the collegiate ranks. He first suited up for Troy, making 49 appearances in three seasons there, including 25 starts. Miles transferred to High Point ahead of the 2023-24 campaign and posted career-best numbers in scoring and assists in his lone season with the Panthers.
