The Courant on Kia Wright's departure from UConn:

A source familiar with the team said Wright struggled to keep up during UConn's summer workout program that began earlier this month and that Wright and the coaching staff had an amicable parting.

"She was very homesick," said Buddy Wright, Kia's father. "It was hard for her to be away from home for the first time. Geno [Auriemma] and the coaching staff have been great. They were very helpful."
