Kaiya Wynn leaves Lady Vols, says senior day 'breaking point' Tennessee guard Kaiya Wynn announced she is leaving the program after five seasons, citing a "breaking point" reached during her senior day celebration. Wynn's decision comes as a surprise, given her role on the team and the university's efforts to retain its top players. Wynn averaged 7.3 points per game this season, a significant decrease from her junior year when she scored 11.5 points per game. Despite her production slipping, Wynn remained an integral part of the Lady Vols' rotation and was expected to return next season. In a statement released by Tennessee, Wynn expressed gratitude for her time at the university but acknowledged that senior day had become too much to bear. "I've always tried to be strong and supportive, but after senior day, it became too much," she said. "I couldn't handle the emotions anymore, and I knew it was time for me to move on." Wynn's decision marks a significant blow to Tennessee's program, which has struggled to find consistency in recent years. The Lady Vols finished this season with a 19-12 record and missed the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2013. Wynn's departure also raises questions about the team's future, particularly given the departures of other key players over the past year. Tennessee has already lost three players from its starting lineup to transfer or graduation, and Wynn's decision leaves a significant void in the backcourt. The university is expected to announce plans for Wynn's remaining eligibility, which could include a medical redshirt or a transfer to another program. Wynn's decision to leave will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the Lady Vols' future, as they look to rebuild and return to their winning ways.#Tennessee #Kaiya_Wynn #Lady_Vols #NCAA_tournament
