Olivia Miles, a two-time AP All-American with Notre Dame who was projected to be the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 WNBA Draft, sent shockwaves through women’s basketball when she decided to forgo going pro and enter the college basketball transfer portal.

After roughly a week of being recruited by various programs, Miles decided Tuesday to transfer to TCU {Texas Christian University) and conclude her college career with the Horned Frogs.
