Notre Dame superstar guard Olivia Miles made a huge career decision on Monday night, forgoing the 2025 WNBA Draft and deciding to enter the NCAA transfer portal.
Miles opting to transfer for her last year of NCAA eligibility is huge for women's college basketball, as she will be the most sought-after transfer in the portal this year.
However, she's probably going to be very choosy for her next stop after deciding to transfer from a Notre Dame team that reached the Sweet 16 in the 2025 women's NCAA tournament.
Where will Miles play next? Could she form a superteam at her final college stop? Let's identify five possible suitors.
With superstar Huskies point guard Paige Bueckers entering the 2025 WNBA Draft, UConn could reload with the player assumed to be right behind her in the prospect pool.
Miles, forward Sarah Strong and guard Azzi Fudd would form one of the most dangerous trios in all of women's college basketball, and UConn would enter the 2025-26 season as a championship favorite.
Talk about the great staying great!
How about Miles teaming up with elite USC shooting guard JuJu Watkins in Los Angeles?
Miles and Watkins would form the best guard tandem in all of women's college basketball, and USC could lean on Miles to create offense if Watkins isn't quite ready for the start of the season off her torn ACL.
If Miles wants to form a superteam with the best women's basketball player in the country, USC is the place to go.
Miles transferring to South Carolina would make a lot of sense, too.
Joining the best women's college basketball coach in the country in Dawn Staley to play out her final season could be a great decision for Miles, as she could develop her game with an elite coaching staff known for getting star players ready for the WNBA.
The Gamecocks are always title contenders, so Miles could help refine her game and contend for a championship.
The Texas women's basketball program is having a moment right now, as it just made the 2025 women's NCAA tournament Final Four.
The Longhorns would have the access to NIL money to make a superstar like Miles a heck of an offer to transfer, and perhaps she would be intrigued by the success Texas found this past season?
Since the team just made the Final Four as a one seed, we're sure they'll be on Miles' radar as a possibility.
TCU was the team to eliminate Miles' Notre Dame in this year's Sweet 16, so perhaps the Horned Frogs would be of interest to Miles?
With guard Hailey Van Lith out the door, perhaps Miles could take her spot as TCU's de-facto superstar?
If you're looking for a program on the rise that could bring Miles in, TCU might have what it takes to get a deal done.
