Reynolds Sisters, Former Purdue WBB Players, Reveal Transfer Destination
In this story:
The Reynolds sisters have revealed where they will continue their college basketball careers. In a social media post this week, the family announced that Mila, Amiyah and Kira will be transferring to UT-Arlington, where they'll join a team coached by Boilermaker great Shereka Wright.
Mila and Amiyah both played at Purdue under coach Katie Gearlds. Kira was a four-star prospect in the 2025 class and had committed to play for the Boilermakers. However, following the conclusion of the season, Mila and Amiyah both entered the NCAA transfer portal and Kira decommitted from the program.
But the sisters aren't the only family members expected to join Wright in Arlington. Their father, Steve Reynolds, is reportedly in discussions about joining the Mavericks staff as an assistant coach for the upcoming season, per the South Bend Tribune. At the time of this story, that had not been finalized.
Steve was a longtime coach of the South Bend Washington girls basketball team but announced his retirement following the 2023-24 season. He coached his three daughters while leading the program.
Thank you @CoachRekeUTA and @UTAMavsWBB! 💙🧡
