The Florida Gators women’s basketball team has taken a major blow as freshman guard Kylee Kitts has officially entered the NCAA transfer portal. Once a top-25 recruit in the Class of 2025, Kitts reclassified to 2024 and began her college career early in Gainesville. After weeks of speculation surrounding her future, she confirmed the move via a social media post, thanking the Gators for her time with the program.
“I’m grateful for my time at Florida, but I’ve decided to enter the transfer portal,” Kylee Kitts shared, marking the start of a new chapter in her young career.
The post quickly gained attention when her sister, Chloe Kitts — a standout player for the South Carolina Gamecocks — reposted it to her Instagram story with a simple but telling caption: “New Beginnings.”
The buzz around Kylee’s next move has only intensified, especially with rumors swirling that the Kitts sisters could reunite on the court — this time wearing South Carolina uniforms. Fueling that speculation is the fact that Kylee entered the portal with a ‘do not contact’ tag, a signal that she may already have a destination in mind.
Before her brief stint at Florida, Kylee Kitts made headlines at Faith Christian Academy, where she played a pivotal role in capturing the 2022 FHSAA state championship, the school’s first-ever title. Her performance in the championship game — a double-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks — underscored her value as a versatile two-way threat.
Averaging 13.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks per game, Kitts quickly earned praise for her basketball IQ, leadership, perimeter skills, and ability to create scoring opportunities. Many believe she has the potential to rise to the same elite level as her sister Chloe, who continues to develop under the guidance of Coach Dawn Staley at South Carolina.
Although the Gamecocks seem like an obvious fit, insiders caution that due to the program’s stacked roster, Kylee Kitts may ultimately choose a different destination where she can carve out a bigger role.
As fans eagerly await her next move, one thing is clear: wherever Kylee lands, she’ll be bringing a combination of talent, drive, and championship experience.
