After one and a half seasons at Colorado, Shelomi Sanders is headed back to the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
The former Jackson State guard announced her commitment to the Alabama A&M Bulldogs on Thursday. Sanders, the daughter of CU football head coach Deion Sanders, played in five games this past season for the Buffs as a walk-on.
Hopefully, Sanders’ move back to the SWAC will allow her to see increased minutes. Alabama A&M went 15-16 last season (10-8 SWAC) but will enter next year led by new head coach Dawn Thornton.
Other Colorado women’s basketball transfers who’ve found new homes include Aaronette Vonleh (Baylor) Mikayla Johnson (Pitt), Ruthie Loomis-Goltl (Idaho) and Brianna McLeod (SMU). Jaylyn Sherrod and Quay Miller have both signed WNBA contracts while Sophie Gerber has retired from basketball to pursue her goal of becoming a surgeon.

In an interview with DNVR Buffs last week, Deion Sanders was asked about his daughter Shelomi entering the transfer portal:
