It is now official as UConn released a statement on sophomore Michala Johnson's decision to transfer earlier today.

“I have really enjoyed getting to know Michala over the last two years,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said in a statement.  “She is a great kid who works really hard in the classroom and on the court.  Recently, she came to us and expressed an interest in being closer to home and I can respect that.  I wish Michala nothing but the best in the future.”

Johnson will complete the spring academic semester at UConn.

Johnson, a native of Bellwood, Ill., saw time in 56 games during her two years at UConn.  She
averaged 1.4 points and 1.4 rebounds in 5.1 minutes per game.
