Notre Dame’s Olivia Miles is widely projected as the No. 2 pick in the WNBA Draft.
But she won’t be this year.
Per ESPN’s Shams Charania, Miles is passing on the WNBA Draft and will instead enter the NCAA transfer portal.

Miles, 22, has played four seasons at Notre Dame and has one season of NCAA eligibility remaining. It’s not clear from the report why she made the decision. But the appeal of NIL opportunities compared to the salaries offered by the WNBA could certainly be in play here.
UConn’s Paige Bueckers is widely projected as the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft, and Miles was expected to go No. 2. Instead, she’ll play one more year in college, perhaps not at Notre Dame. The Seattle Storm hold the No. 2 pick in the upcoming draft and will have to look elsewhere.
A 5-foot-10 guard, Miles averaged 15.4 points, 5.8 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals this season while shooting 48.3% from the field and 40.6% on 5.3 3-point attempts per game. She helped lead Notre Dame to a first-place tie in the ACC with NC State and a No. 3 seed in the NCAA tournament. Notre Dame was eliminated on Saturday in the Sweet 16 by TCU.
Entering the portal doesn’t mean for certain that Miles will transfer out of Notre Dame. If she does, she’ll leave a program fresh off a Sweet 16 run that’s regularly in the national title conversation.

Fotbalisté Manchesteru United a Tottenhamu vykročili k anglickému finále EL
Velký sen baskického týmu o finále na domácím stadionu San Mamés utrpěl citelnou ránu. Bilbao sice začalo velkým tlakem, ale závěrečná čtvrthodina prvního poločasu pro něj skončila pohromou. Nejprve si po Maguireho akci otevřel střelecký účet v soutěži Brazilec Casemiro. Pak byl domácí Vivian vyloučen za penaltový faul na Höjlunda a Fernandes pokutový kop proměnil. Ještě do přestávky portugalský kapitán „Rudých ďáblů“ využil také samostatný únik za obranou soupeře a v tabulce střelců se posunul již na sedm gólů.Manchester United je v Premier League čtrnáctý daleko za pohárovými příčkami a Evropská liga je pro něj cestou do Ligy mistrů. Po výrazné venkovní výhře může i nadále doufat, že si zopakuje triumf v EL z roku 2017.
