Olivia Miles to Transfer Portal - forgoes WNBA draft, too

[broooce]

ESPN reporting that Miles is forgoing the WNBA draft and has also entered the transfer portal. She has one more year of eligibility.

Hmmmm.....

 

[Heytherego]

Biggest surprise yet

 

[Urshurak]

Yeah, just hit my notifications/alerts.

Wild! Would UConn be interested?

 

[CONNCAN]

UCONN ?

 

[DefenseBB]

Ugh, someone check on our boy @Dillon77

Now that is a surprise!

Now that is a surprise!

And thus we may have answer to what went wrong late in the season for the Irish

 

[WBBTakeover]

I've said before that there were only three ACC names that would really have me SHOOK if they entered the portal. With Olivia Miles, this makes two of three.

My goodness!

 

[Vowelguy]

If you're the projected #2 pick, why come back?
either
(a) $$ via NIL and/or waiting until after the next WNBA collective bargaining agreement (this fall)
(b) desire to win a title

That suggests to me SEC or USC.

The sophomore guard who went 3 for 19, and took the ball out of Olivia's hands most of the 2nd half. Gino needs a good guard with Paige leaving.

 

[ConnMotors]

Awesome player! I’m sure that she will find her right fit.

 

[Bone Dog]

It doesn't make much of a difference to ND since they were looking at losing her to the W before this.

Of course, if she ends up in Storrs and wins an NC with Geno it would look really bad for Niele.

We need a post player first

Well, she said she was still thinking about it.

But more it's a big deal because it looks not good. Huge psychological blow. Losing marginal players is ho hum. Losing a star is a problem.

Yeah that's about the biggest "Danger, Will Robinson" warning sign I can think of for a program. There must be some really bad juju in South Bend right now.

Why am thinking of a State Farm commercial now? Oh wait, that was someone wanting some good juju.

You are probably right.

On the other hand, Miles already has both a Notre Dame undergrad degree bs Business/Economics, and in May finishes a Masters in Non Profit management.

Very curious to see where she goes and what she studies. She's already set up to be her own agent, and run her own foundation/charity.

This could just be a very smart way to take a 1 year sabbatical while new CBA gets organized.

I mean she can't improve her draft status??? From 2 to 1.

She's also the rare kid who could transfer in to Stanford. How bought sub for JuJu for a year of film school, or entrepreneur program like Iriafen at USC. TCU also needs a point guard.

Shocking move, but also very thoughtful.

ND next season

Wow. I guess the much fabled money tree is secretly indigenous to Forth Worth, cause otherwise, I'm not seeing how this computes, notwithstanding Campbell's bona fides.

i wonder if this means Prince is coming back?

7 years of college? How much more eligibility does she have?

1 year
she has only played 3 eligible years
