When an all-expenses-paid life in Mediterranean Europe comes calling, the MCAT can wait.
That was a no-brainer for Utah's Taryn Wicijowski, who Wednesday announced that she signed a contract with Cestistica Orvieto (or, Basketball Orvieto) in Italy's Serie A1.
Wicijowski, a native of Regina, Saskatchewan, finished sixth in school history in scoring (1,887 points) and third in rebounds (1,047), earning all-conference honors four times.
Her agent called her with Orvieto's offer just a week or two after the end of her senior season.
At that point, Wicijowski still felt she had the "tiniest of smallest shots" in the mid-April WNBA draft, she told The Tribune on Wednesday, but she knew as soon as she saw Cal's Reshanda Gray slip to the second round that it wasn't to be.
