The college basketball transfer portal has seen plenty of surprising twists. With the NIL world changing the way of college sports, the portal frenzy has been as busy as ever, even into the month of May. 

Some players have now transferred to three or even four schools in their college career, something that wouldn't have been the case even half a decade ago. 

Yet, here we are. 

On Sunday, it continued, although this player committed to another school in the span of just a few months. 

This time, it was Oklahoma transfer guard Duke Miles, who has now committed to Vanderbilt, per Joe Tipton of On3. Miles was a four-star recruit, but his college career has been a headache. 

Miles played last season at Oklahoma, where he played in all 34 games and averaged 9.4 points per game. 

He then entered the portal and landed at Texas A&M on April 7. He also committed to Virginia before deciding to go to Texas A&M, and Miles then signed his papers with the Aggies.

But he changed his mind again, entered the portal, and now has committed to Vanderbilt. 

In total, Miles' college career has been a whirlwind, and On3's graphic shows how wild it has been. 

Here's how the college run has gone for Miles: 

  • December 2020: Committed to Troy
  • 2020-2022: Played at Troy
  • March 2023: Entered transfer portal 
  • April 2023: Committed to High Point 
  • 2023-24 season: Played at High Point 
  • April 2024: Entered transfer portal 
  • May 2024: Committed to Oklahoma 
  • 2024-25: Played at Oklahoma 
  • April 2025: Entered transfer portal 
  • April 2025: Committed and decommitted from Virginia and Texas A&M 
  • May 2025: Committed to Vanderbilt 

Yes, that's a mess, but that's how things have gone for Miles. Now, he is headed to Vanderbilt for his final year of college.
