KK Bransford, a senior forward for the Notre Dame women's basketball team, has decided to transfer after the team's recent loss to UConn in the NCAA tournament. Initially expressing her desire to utilize her final year of eligibility with the Fighting Irish, Bransford has opted to explore other opportunities through the transfer portal. This decision comes after a challenging season where she averaged 7.4 points and 4 rebounds per game, following a redshirt year and additional games missed due to injuries. Bransford played a pivotal role in Notre Dame's success, contributing to a 12-3 finish after her return from injury, leading the team to its first Elite Eight appearance since 2019. With Bransford's departure and Cassandre Prosper being drafted into the WNBA, only Hannah Hidalgo from the team's core trio remains for the next season.
