Arizona guard Kamryn Kitchen thanks Wildcat fans, announces transfer

It’s almost quaint and old-fashioned at this point. Instead of an “agent” telling someone at a website that primarily exists for transfer news, Tucsonan Achol Magot announced her transfer via a personal post on social media. Guard Kamryn Kitchen has stuck with the personal touch, as well, posting a thank-you to Arizona women’s basketball fans and announcing her transfer intentions.

Kitchen came to Tucson after a redshirt season at Virginia.

Kitchen left personal ties behind in Virginia. She returned to the state after the Wildcats lost in the Big 12 Tournament and regularly posts pictures of herself at Virginia softball games supporting the Cavaliers.

Kitchen was originally ranked No. 57 in the 2025 class by ESPN HoopGurlz, but she enrolled a year early at Virginia with the intention of redshirting. She sat out her true freshman season to get ready for her second year. She was also hurt late in the year. Instead of playing that second year for the Cavaliers, she decided to transfer.

Like most of the Arizona roster, Kitchen’s minutes and role were not consistent during her single season as a Wildcat. She appeared in 22 of the Wildcats’ 30 games, making four starts. Her final appearance was against Baylor on Feb. 21. She played just five minutes in that game and didn’t get off the bench against Houston or Utah in the final two regular season games. She also didn’t play in the Wildcats’ Big 12 Tournament loss to ASU.

Prior to the three DNP games, Kitchen had eight games during which she averaged 28.4 mpg. That run started on Jan. 20 against Kansas. Kitchen had her best outing in cardinal and navy, scoring 16 points in 19 minutes on the court. She went 6 for 11 from the floor…
