Kyrah Daniels started all 35 of the games in last season as a sophomore. She averaged 29.5 minutes scoring 12 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, over one steal, and nearly one block a game. She knows how to stuff a stat score box. It's not that she only achieved big numbers against lesser teams in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC); she also put up impressive numbers against higher-level teams.

She scored 16 points against Wichita State, 26 points against Saint Louis, 12 points against Gonzaga, and 15 points against Minnesota, among other impressive performances throughout the year. She is entering her junior year as she joins the Badgers and will have two seasons to play under Robin Pingeton.

She told Wisconsin athletics:

""I'm super thankful and blessed to be a Badger. I'm excited to start a new era with Coach P, the staff, and my new teammates! On Wisconsin!""

This is now the fourth transfer that Pingeton has been able to secure from the transfer portal starting with Laci Steele from NC State, Gift Uchenna from Southern Illinois, Destiny Howell from Howard, and now Kyrah Daniels from Missouri State. The roster and even the starting rotation are starting to fill out, but there are still a few more additions that Pingeton will need to make before she officially closes the door on the 2025 Wisconsin women's basketball roster.
