For months, the top two picks in the 2025 WNBA Draft appeared to be locked in stone. The Dallas Wings would take Paige Bueckers at No. 1, while the Seattle Storm, who acquired the No. 2 pick from the Los Angeles Sparks in the Jewell Loyd blockbuster in January, would select Olivia Miles as a ready-made backcourt replacement.

Notre Dame guard Olivia Miles, widely regarded as one of the best college players in the country, will forgo declaring for the 2025 WNBA Draft and enter the NCAA transfer portal to play out another year in college, per ESPN's Shams Charania.

In a shocking move, guard Olivia Miles has opted to neither enter the WNBA Draft nor run it back at Notre Dame. Instead, she will enter the NCAA transfer portal and utilize her last year of eligibility elsewhere. The move was reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania.
