Terrence Hill Jr. Commits to Tennessee Over Kansas in Transfer Portal

The Kansas Jayhawks missed out on a key transfer portal target Sunday, as former VCU Rams guard Terrence Hill Jr. committed to the Tennessee Volunteers, according to On3.

Hill, one of the top shooting guards available in the portal, averaged 15.0 points, 2.8 assists, and 2.7 rebounds per game this past season. He appeared in 59 games over two years at VCU and led the team in scoring during the 2025-26 season while averaging 25.1 minutes per game.

Despite his production, Hill started just two games this past year, primarily serving in a high-impact rotational role.

Kansas had been heavily involved in his recruitment as it looks to rebuild its backcourt through the portal this offseason. Hill’s commitment takes one of the top guard options off the board as the Jayhawks continue evaluating other targets.

Kansas Hosts Big 12 Scorer Vyctorius Miller for Official Visit

Bill Self and the Kansas coaching staff remain aggressive in the portal, and their latest target is a familiar Big 12 name. Oklahoma State transfer Vyctorius Miller is set to visit Lawrence beginning Monday, giving the Jayhawks a close look at one of the more intriguing scoring guards available.

Miller, a 6-foot-5 guard with two years of eligibility remaining, spent last season with the Cowboys after starting his career at LSU. He averaged 10.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game while shooting 37.5% from three, a notable jump from his freshman year.

Kansas fans got a firsthand look at Miller in Stillwater, where he posted seven points and four rebounds against the Jayhawks. But his value goes beyond one matchup. He’s a true three-level scorer who can create his own shot and bring instant offense — something KU is actively looking to add.

While Miller’s overall shooting numbers (41.8%) suggest some inefficiency, his role at Kansas would look much different. Instead of being a primary option, he projects as a potential sixth man who can provide a scoring punch off the bench, similar to the role left behind by Elmarko Jackson.

That fit could be key. Kansas doesn’t necessarily need another high-usage guard, but it does need depth and shot creation in the second unit. Miller checks both boxes.

According to 247Sports, Miller ranks as the No. 81 overall transfer and the No. 12 shooting guard in the portal, making him a solid, though not headline-grabbing, addition if the Jayhawks can land him.

He’s also not the only guard on Self’s radar. Kansas is expected to host Toledo’s Leroy Blyden Jr., signaling a clear priority in rebuilding depth at the position.

Miller’s visit will be one to watch. If he’s open to embracing a more defined role on a bigger stage, Kansas could be an ideal fit, and a chance for him to stay in the Big 12 while elevating his game.
