Dieonte Miles, Xavier transfer, commits to Morehead State, per report

Center Dieonte Miles, a former Walton-Verona High School standout, will continue his college career for the Morehead State Eagles after playing the past three seasons for the Xavier Musketeers, according to a report Thursday via Twitter from Stadium's Jeff Goodman. Miles retweeted Goodman's tweet.

Miles, a 7-footer, averaged 1.1 points and 1.3 rebounds in 6.5 minutes per game in 12 games this past season.

Miles was one of several Musketeers to enter the transfer portal after the Muskies' season ended with an NCAA tournament Sweet 16 appearance. Forward Cesare Edwards committed Thursday to Missouri State. Guard KyKy Tandy committed earlier this month to Jacksonville State. Guard Colby Jones declared for the 2023 NBA draft.

Missouri State finished last season 22-12, and 14-4 in the Ohio Valley Conference. The Eagles lost to UAB in the second round of the NIT.

Miles did not play in XU's 86-63 win against Morehead in Dec. 2021.

Miles thanked Xavier fans with a tweet when he entered the portal in late March:

XU has added North Texas' Abou Ousmane, Western Kentucky's Dayvion McKnight Rice's Quincy Olivari and Indiana's Logan Duncomb, a former Moeller High School standout, via the transfer portal this month.
