Where They Are Going — Part 2

Kentucky speedster Abby Steiner gave up her final year of NCAA eligibility to turn pro. (MIKE SCOTT)

PART 1 of this year’s “Where They Are Going” was dedicated to new faces on the collegiate scene. In this second part we look at movement of athletes who have already been in play.

Codes: JC = transfers from a 2‑year college; T = newly eligible transfers from another 4‑year school; IT = ineligible transfers; GT = eligible transfer doing graduate work; Ret = athletes returning from some sort of ineligibility; DNR = athletes with remaining eligibility who did not return to team.

But first, let’s look at the dozen high-profilers who turned pro early (# = winner of an NCAA individual title indoors or out):
