5 Olivia Miles landing spots as Notre Dame superstar enters transfer portal

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.

UConn

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.
