What's the story with all of the transfers? Was this expected?

I think given the circumstances, yes this could have been expected. Martin is a surprise to me, especially with her friendship to Bella. But...she is an undersized post in a league with taller players. Claire, always brought energy but had lost her 6th man position to Wernli by the end of the year. We really need an experienced post now to go with Mayes and Flippen. Will be interesting to see how coach Julie puts next year's roster together.

I heard from a player this morning that there are 7 who are transfering out.

We have been average for years now. Stagnant program. Julie hasn’t put it together for a while and every player leaving would say something don’t you think?

The most likely besides Kenadi, Addison, and Claire are Yle and Tristan. I don’t see Tristan leaving until she graduates, but who knows? She’s got deep ACU roots.
Zoe is the starting PG. No reason for her to leave?

No reason for her to leave? This makes more sense to me, although I'd not be surprised if Tristan changed sports opening up a spot.

That is possible. We were talking in the context of transfers and she said "We're losing 7", which certainly could include graduating students. I asked specifically and she said Zoe and Hull were not among the 7.

In the transfer portal (official): Addison Martin; Claire Graham; Yla Espisito; Tristan Keller; Kenadi Rising; Aspen Thornton. Plus Clare Trager and Brooke Jessen have no more eligibility.
That is a total of eight including Aspen which matches what Cat_a_holic reported.
Our roster now has a total of six scholarship players: Bella Earle; Zoe Jackson; Payton Hull; Emma Troxel; Meredith Mayes; Gracie Wernli. Plus freshmen: Aimee Flippin; Tyla Heard; and Paula Pique.
So, there are six open scholarships for transfers. I think priority number 1 is an experienced point guard. Priority number 2 is an experienced big girl at least 6'2. I think Meredith is capable of starting at the 5. She is a more efficient scorer than Addison but can she play defense like Addison? Tyla, I think, is a 4 if she is indeed 6'. Aimee can be every bit as good as the freshman post at Tarleton. Paula seems to be a 2 or 3 but we won't know until she gets here this summer.
We live in interesting times.

Two on my wish list...
Hannah Gusters from Okie State. 6'5 Originally recruited at Baylor. Followed Mulkey to LSU..that didn't work out. Then went to OSU. I think she has 2 years. From Dallas. Our staff has known her since early in high school or before.
Zoe Nelson from SFA. 6'2 averaged 7.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. From Austin. Great, long defender. Our staff has also known her since early in her career.
