Vanderbilt Transfer Kady Schrann Signs With FGCU

The Florida Gulf Coast women's basketball team filled their final scholarship spot for the upcoming season on Tuesday as Karl Smesko announced the signing of Vanderbilt transfer Kady Schrann.

"Kady is a great addition for us. She will add competitiveness to our practices this season and should be a major contributor the following year," Smesko said in a release. She has been a successful player in the SEC and we believe she can be more aggressive offensively at FGCU. We feel that she can be a consistent scorer in our system and we’re looking forward to having her on the court with us.”

Schrann, a 5-foot-9 guard, will sit out the 2014-15 season due to NCAA transfer rules and will have one year of eligibility remaining afterwards.

During the 2013-14 season, the Commodores junior averaged 4.1 points per game in 30 appearances. Her numbers declined ever since putting up 6.7 points per game, including a 29 point performance against LSU, as a member of the 2011-12 SEC Freshman First Team.

At York Catholic HS in Pennsylvania, Schrann tallied 2,161 career points en route to been named the 48th best class of 2011 recruit by ESPN HoopGurlz.

"FGCU stuck out to me because I watched them play against Oklahoma State, and I was like, 'They're pretty good,'" Schrann told SB Nation's Swish Appeal. "They also had my major and I was like, 'This looks like a great fit for me.'"

Schrann joins fellow 5-foot-9 guard Tayler Goodall (Columbus North HS - Indiana) in the Eagles 2014 recruiting class. ESPN graded Goodall as the No. 19 point guard in the incoming freshman class.

The two will look to build on a team that is coming off an Atlantic Sun post-season title and a narrow NCAA first round loss to Oklahoma State. The Blue and Green only suffer the departure of all time program leader in points, Sarah Hansen.
