Reigning champ UConn lands top transfer after losing Paige Bueckers to WNBA

Geno Auriemma and UConn women's basketball need no help attracting top-tier talent, but being the current holders of the national championship trophy doesn't hurt — especially for players with title run aspirations. Former Wisconsin forward Serah Williams chose to commit to the Huskies for her last year of college eligibility, strengthening their frontcourt and chances of a repeat.

Williams is a huge addition for UConn, adding major frontcourt presence, size, athleticism, skill, and experience. The last trait is especially important for the Huskies, who are recovering from losing a group of WNBA-drafted players headlined by superstar Paige Bueckers.

The 6-foot-4 forward will lead a very talented but relatively inexperienced lineup that includes players like Sarah Strong, Jana El Alfy, and Ice Brady as the program attempts to reach the NCAA Tournament finals for the second year in a row.

Williams picked UConn over programs like LSU and North Carolina after spending her first three years with the Badgers. She averaged 19.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks in the 2024-25 season, earning her an All-Big Ten first team nod and second-straight All-Big Ten Defensive Team nomination.
