Miles to the transfer portal
Interesting decision to forego the WNBA and leave ND
Replies to: Miles to the transfer portal
Apparently she will earn her ND degree. She is more a Domer than many posters here,
I wish her all the success in the world
Then why isn't she staying at her Alma Mater?

Most Domers do grad work at other institutions... especially if paid to do so,

Most Domer Grads don't have athletic eligibility left at Notre Dame.

The women's team is a flat out dumpster fire right now. Gotta be a message to the coach.

There are SEVERAL HUNDRED women players in the portal. Gotta be a message to All the coaches.
But it seems like fools gold for the vast majority.
AND... unless the WNBA suddenly becomes wildly successful... it would behoove these young women to get decent degrees from the best schools they can.

WBball in freefall
I don't know what the dynamics are but Miles, Koval and Risch are now in the portal.
Who knows who is next.
Somebody needs to take a look at the coaching and decide if we need a change. It seems Ivey, who I thought was a good hire at the time, hasn't managed this team very well given how the year ended.
Chicken or egg? Subpar end of season caused by portal fixation or vice versa?
There are men's schools losing all their players to the portal.
IT'S TRENDY.
Comparisons to Men BBall don't fit
Men are chasing much bigger upsides in the NBA vs women.
I get there are lots of rational reasons for players going into the portal but it seems to me too many are chasing rainbows because it is easy and staying is harder. Unfortunately, as many find out, the grass isn't always greener at the next stop.
Could be just wanting to have their skills showcased
I think Koval was looking at big minutes this coming season. Not sure about Risch. Someone noted that our bigs were nonexistent against TCU. Maybe who ever is working with post players needs to be evaluated?
Why? Does not make a lots of sense.

It makes perfect sense.
Delay the WNBA until the new cba is signed, and grab as much nil as she can.
Also, transfer to a program that will challenge for a national title.
It would NOT make sense to opt for the WNBA
The guaranteed base salary for the top-four picks in the WNBA is $76,536.
The top-four women’s college basketball players averaged $1.1 million in NIL earnings.
Unfair to make them go to the pros. Sue to stay in college indefinitely…

probably doesn't want to compete for the spotlight with hidalgo.
a battle she knows she won't win. she can be the star somewhere else, but not at n.d. as long as hannah is healthy. besides, she lost her shooting eye somewhere along the line and never really get it back.
adios. all the best.
Strange choice to leave ND. UConn wants her. They can have her.

She's not going to end up at UConn
I have no inside knowledge but I would suspect she wants to be a bigger cheese than she would be at UConn since she would end up in the same situation she has at ND just substituting Fudd for Hidalgo.
Some well-informed speculation has he going to TCU who has to replace Van Lith. or USC which needs someone to replace Watkins for 2026.
as a graduate may be best to expand her horizons and growth with other opportunities

The bidding war will be intense.
This is a far more lucrative option than the WNBA. The NIL/Portal era has empowered individual college athletes
Is there more to this story than meets the eye,?

Unknown. Obviously doesn't think ND will be very good next year

It could open up a spot for a high-end recruit.
