After Notre Dame fell to a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of TCU at the Sweet 16 stage of the NCAA Tournament, Fighting Irish head coach Niele Ivey discussed Olivia Miles

According to data available online thanks to the excellent work by the team at WBB Blog, Notre Dame entered the 2024-25 season with 12 roster student-athletes on scholarship and two walk-ons: Miles, Citron, Westbeld, King, Sarah Cernugel, Watson, Koval, Liz Karlen, KK Bransford, Cassandre Prosper, Hidalgo, Emma Risch, Luci Jensen, and Bell Tehrani.

On Monday, news broke that Miles intends to forgo the 2025 WNBA Draft (Rest in peace, my WNBA mock draft 3.0; I hardly knew ye) and use her final year of eligibility. However, another kicker is that she intends to enter the transfer portal. The reverberations of such a stunning decision by Miles leave a lot of questions.
