The Wisconsin Badgers and Kelly Sheffield had a pretty big exodus this season after their Final Four run. While none of them were surprising in a vacuum, as a whole, it was hard to watch six players for the present and the future decide it was time to get more guaranteed playing time elsewhere.
Many Wisconsin Badger fans hoped one or two, or even a few, would opt to leave the portal after entering it and return to Wisconsin; however, all six outgoing transfers have landed at new homes. Here's where:
Una Vajagic and Tosia Serafinowska transferred to Arizona State
Maybe the biggest surprise was Una Vajagic transferring, as she clearly had a starter role last season and developed into an impressive outside hitter. However, she wasn't going to be guaranteed the same minutes next season with other outside hitters coming in to compete for her job. That may have been what sent her looking for a new opportunity. She and the other international player on the team, Tosia Serafinowska, both decided to go to Arizona State.
Addy Horner transferred to TCU
Horner became a starter when star setter Charlie Fuerbringer went down with an injury. However, as soon as Fuerbringer was healthy, Horner went back to the bench. She proved she can be a starter and a pretty good one at that, but she didn't have a shot of overtaking Fuerbringer's spot, so it made sense for her to transfer. She has since gone to TCU.
Maile Chan has transferred to Florida State with Aniya Warren going to Oklahoma
Chan, as well as Aniya Warren, was stuck on the depth chart behind a true freshman (last season), and Kristen Simon proved she was going to be the main libero for the future. That sent both Chan and Warren to the portal. Chan landed at Florida State while Warren became a Sooner.
Trinity Shadd-Ceres has transferred to Creighton
Shadd-Ceres proved she can be a powerful and effective outside hitter, but similar to Vajagic, there was nothing guaranteed on the Wisconsin roster. There are just too many elite and talented outside hitters. She is going to be a starter at Creighton.
