On Tuesday, Olivia Miles, a former standout at Notre Dame, made the decision to transfer to TCU. This significant move comes after she chose not to participate in the 2025 WNBA Draft where she had been expected to be a top pick.

This year’s decision was particularly eye-catching as it followed a season where Miles was a critical component of Notre Dame’s success, averaging 15.4 points per game and establishing herself as one of the leading prospects in women’s basketball. Miles, who started 95 out of 101 games during her college career, is expected to bring immense talent to TCU, which has been actively seeking to bolster its roster through strategic transfers.

The transfer portal has been particularly friendly to TCU, with Miles being the latest addition in a series of successful recruitments by coach Mark Campbell. As TCU looks to build upon its Elite Eight appearance, the addition of such a dynamic player could open doors to new recruitment opportunities and further enhance their competitive edge.

The decision is part of a broader pattern where Notre Dame has experienced significant roster upheaval following Miles’ departure and the subsequent entry of multiple players into the transfer portal.
