Lawrence, Kansas is less than a 4-hour drive from her hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Norman, OK (Oklahoma Sooners) and Stillwater, OK (Oklahoma State Cowgirls) are the only major power conference WBB programs that are geographically closer.
It does seem rare these days, but this might be a case where the player cites wanting to be "closer to home" when they transfer and she actually means it! lol
While the two Oklahoma schools have had a bit more success of late, the Kansas Jayhawks actually made back-to-back Sweet 16's in 2012 & 2013. And again, she'll be teaming up with Calvert, who averaged a cool 10+ppg as a freshman for Southern California last season.
