It seems like just yesterday that Kindyll Wetta was a freshman on the CU women’s basketball team, but the Colorado native is now heading into her senior season with the Buffs.
Wetta, a 5-foot-9 point guard from Valor Christian High School in Highlands Ranch, is known for her incredible on-ball defense and has been a strong first option off the bench. But with Jaylyn Sherrod and others now gone, Wetta is in line for a starting spot in the Buffs’ backcourt and a greater leadership role.
Last week, I asked Wetta about stepping into a bigger role for head coach JR Payne’s squad.
“I’m excited,” Wetta said. “This isn’t anything that I’m not used to. I’ve filled a different role for the past three years, and it’s been great. I’ve loved my time, but I’m ready to step into a bigger role for this team.”
Wetta also opened up on transitioning from a bench player into a likely senior starter.
“Honestly, I’ve loved coming off the bench in the past,” Wetta said. “It’s fun to go into the game and be that spark of energy for the team. Although bittersweet, I’m excited to be able to start my senior year and represent Colorado.”
