The Athletic names Notre Dame’s Olivia Miles preseason All-American

What a preseason for Miles.

[autotag]Olivia Miles[/autotag] is having quite the season, and it hasn’t even started yet. The Notre Dame sophomore point guard already has been named to the Nancy Lieberman Award watch list and the preseason all-ACC team. Now, it’s The Athletic’s turn to honor Miles. The website has named her to its preseason All-American First Team.

Women’s basketball managing editor Shannon Ryan explained the decision to include Miles this way:

“Miles became the first men’s or women’s player in NCAA Tournament history to record a triple-double as a freshman, recording 12 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists against UMass in her tournament debut. A player with a hot hand in the NCAA Tournament is exactly what Irish fans are craving as they hope to make a deep run. Miles, a sophomore, has the court vision and scoring ability to take Notre Dame far. She and (Iowa’s Caitlin) Clark were the only players to average 13 points, five rebounds and seven assists last season.”

Here’s hoping Miles will be the centerpiece of an amazing Irish season.

Four Notre Dame players make AP preseason All-American team

Like this list?

With the college football season almost here, the time has come for The Associated Press to unveil its preseason All-Americans. Notre Dame is expected to have another solid season, so it has fair representation on this list. It has four players on the list that are split evenly between the first and second teams. One of them is new to the Irish this year, making him one of seven transfers on this year’s team.

No, the preseason All-American team isn’t remembered or even celebrated nearly as much as the team unveiled at the end of the season. Still, if you’re going to watch college football this year, and you probably are given that you’re reading this story, you want to have some players to watch. They most likely will be the ones that define how 2022 goes, though several might fall all in favor of some surprises.

Here are Notre Dame’s representatives on this year’s preseason team:
