Transfer portal report: Cal star snubs Notre Dame, North Carolina and Ohio State to join Olivia Miles at TCU

The TCU Horned Frogs are experiencing a big transfer portal season as they have reportedly secured the commitment of California Golden Bears star forward Marta Suarez. The 22-year-old had multiple offers from several programs but chose to join Notre Dame transfer Olivia Miles in working with Horned Frogs coach Mark Campbell for the new season, according to SI's Nick Grimonte on Friday.

She reportedly selected the Horned Frogs over offers from Notre Dame, North Carolina and Ohio State. TCU had a fantastic NCAA Tournament, reaching the Elite Eight. However, it went down fighting against Texas.

Marta Suarez hails from Oviedo, Spain, and she featured for the Tennessee Lady Volunteers as a freshman in the 2020-21 season. She was at Tennessee for two years before joining the California Golden Bears. She stayed two seasons at Cal and now heads to Fort Worth.

The Spaniard has improved her game with every passing year. Her averages have gone up, and now she will look to solidify her role with the Horned Frogs, making them a potential championship contender with multiple incoming players.

Marta Suarez becomes fourth transfer portal addition for TCU Horned Frogs in the brief offseason

Marta Suarez will surely bolster TCU's roster as it aims to build a contending team for the Big 12 championship. The senior averaged 12.9 points, 7.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists for Cal last season. She shot a decent 45.8% from the field while registering 31.5% from beyond the arc.

Apart from Marta Suarez, the Horned Frogs will also welcome transfers such as Clara Silva (Kentucky), Olivia Miles (Notre Dame) and Taliyah Parker (Texas A&M). However, they will lose key players like Hailey Van Lith, Madison Conner and several others, who will feature in the WNBA draft.

Suarez dropped seven double-doubles for the Golden Bears in the 2024-25 season. She played in all 66 games and was among the team's leading scorers and rebounders.

The 23-year-old adds depth to the Horned Frogs, both offensively and defensively. Suarez is a great shooter, and her ability to glide past players in transition will make her a vital player for Mark Campbell. She also won the Kay Yow Servant Leader Award in December for her leadership and excellent community impact.
