Announced today by Rutgers:

Four Rutgers players – junior guard Shrita Parker, junior forward Kandiss Barber, redshirt sophomore guard Ashli Jeune and sophomore Aliyah Jeune – have informed the coaching staff of their intents to transfer and have been granted releases.

“I have met with each player and they have informed me of their plans to transfer to other schools,” said head coach C. Vivian Stringer. “We wish Shrita, Kandiss, Ashli and Aliyah success in their futures and thank all of them for their time at Rutgers.”

Parker, a native of Virginia Beach, Virginia, appeared in 29 contests with 28 starts as a junior. She averaged 12.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in 2016-17.
