The key with the LOI is that is that if he didn't sign it then he wouldn't be held to anything from Auburn meaning they couldn't restrict where he goes. He would still have to sit a year under the transfer rules and likely pay his way the 1st year but wouldn't be restricted from going to LSU by Auburn. Just like Blakely from UF to Auburn last year.

This isn't correct.

NCAA transfer rules apply to him. Also means that SEC transfer rules apply to him.

Which means:
1) Auburn can refuse to let him speak with LSU
2) Auburn can refuse to grant him a waiver to freely transfer to LSU
3) SEC transfer rules dictate that he must sit out 2 years before becoming eligible

ETA: SEC rule might be that he cannot receive financial aid for 2 years... trying to clarify

Yes, except for about half of your post.

He never signed his LOI, and as such has no need or requirement to seek release.

There is nothing to be released from.

He is not under scholarship. . .but he is still an athlete, and thereby under the thumb of the NCAA.

Miller could transfer anywhere he chooses, singing "frick Auburn, and your tree toilet papering homoerotica!!!", and AU can't do a damn thing about it.

You go on thinking this.

Miller requires no release. He can come right to LSU, but will have to pay his own way for a year. Would've been smarter to go the route offered to him in January, but that's water under the bridge, and daddy will now have TWO semesters to pay for.
