Notre Dame's former guard Olivia Miles was at TCU's hardwood on Friday, showcasing her synergy with her new teammates. The Horned Frogs' practice for the 2025-26 season began earlier this week. On Friday, the school posted a few glimpses into the new roster's chemistry on Instagram.

The carousel opened with an image of Miles' celebration, followed by her scoring and playmaking abilities. The post also highlighted Natalie Mazurek, Donovyn Hunter, Marta Suarez and other's skills.

"Stacking days," the post's caption read.

The Horned Frogs are coming off their best season ever, marking a 34-4 overall run. It included eight victories over AP top-25 ranked teams like NC State, Notre Dame, Baylor and West Virginia, earning the top record in the Big 12. The school earned an NCAA bid and marked an Elite Eight appearance against Texas.

Olivia Miles' addition comes after the graduation of Hailey Van Lith, who is in the middle of her rookie year with the Chicago Sky.

The former Notre Dame guard is coming off her best collegiate year, averaging 15.4 points, 5.8 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 1.4 steals on 48.3% clip. She also made 40.6% of her 3-point attempts.

Olivia Miles clears rumors with former teammate Hannah Hidalgo

Olivia Miles put together a notable stretch alongside Hannah Hidalgo last season, often headlining as the best duo in college basketball.

So, when she exercised the transfer portal this offseason, fans believed it was due to chemistry issues with Hidalgo. However, Miles cleared it up during an Instagram live in April:

"We are fine, we are perfectly fine, there's no beef, there's literally no beef. Ya'll are creating it thinner."

Olivia Miles had an option to enter the WNBA draft this year, where she was anticipated to be the No. 2 pick, behind Paige Bueckers. She now joins the same TCU team that eliminated Notre Dame from the NCAA tournament last season. Miles is one of the best passing guards in the DI circuit and has one year of eligibility remaining.

Alongside Miles, the Horned Frogs also welcome 6-foot-7 Portuguese big Clara Silva (Kentucky) and 6-foot-1 combo guard Taliyah Parker (A&M) from the portal.
