In a move that has sent shockwaves through the college basketball world, Notre Dame forward Olivia Miles made an official visit to the University of South Carolina Gamecocks. The visit, which took place over the weekend, has sparked widespread speculation about Miles’ potential transfer to the Gamecocks.
Miles, a 5-foot-9 sophomore forward, has been a standout player for the Fighting Irish, averaging 13.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game last season. Her impressive performance earned her a spot on the ACC All-Freshman Team and made her a highly sought-after recruit.
The Gamecocks, who are looking to bolster their roster after a successful 2022-2023 season, are believed to be one of the top contenders for Miles’ services. The team’s head coach, Dawn Staley, has a reputation for attracting top talent, and her program has become a powerhouse in women’s college basketball.
During her visit, Miles met with Staley and the rest of the Gamecocks coaching staff, as well as with current players. She also took a tour of the university’s facilities, including the Carolina Coliseum and the Dodie Anderson Academic Enrichment Center.
While Miles has not publicly commented on her visit, sources close to the situation indicate that she was impressed by the Gamecocks’ program and is seriously considering a transfer. If she were to join the Gamecocks, Miles would be eligible to play immediately, thanks to the NCAA’s transfer portal rules.
The potential addition of Miles would be a major coup for the Gamecocks, who are looking to build on their recent success. With Miles on board, the team would likely become one of the top contenders for the national championship.
As the college basketball world waits with bated breath for Miles’ decision, one thing is clear: the Gamecocks are all-in on landing the talented forward, and they will stop at nothing to make her a part of their program.
