Olivia Miles Transfers to TCU, Skips WNBA Draft

Olivia Miles, a standout player from Notre Dame, has made a surprising decision to transfer to TCU, bypassing the 2025 WNBA draft where she was expected to be a top-three pick. This move comes after TCU eliminated Notre Dame in the Sweet 16, marking a dramatic twist in her college basketball career. Miles averaged 15.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game last season, showcasing her talent and resilience post a severe knee injury. Her decision to join TCU, a program on the rise after reaching its first Elite Eight, has drawn comparisons to Kevin Durant's famous NBA move, underlining the impact of her switch. This transfer not only reshapes the college basketball landscape but also enhances TCU's reputation, following their acquisition of Hailey Van Lith the previous year. Miles' unexpected move to stay in college rather than entering the professional league has set social media and the sports community abuzz.
