Ryun Williams about Kinzer on April's signing day...
"We are very excited to welcome Kendyll to Colorado State. Known as one of the conference’s most prolific shooters, and a big thorn in the Rams’ side when we played the Bulldogs, it will be nice seeing Kendyll let it fly in the green and gold! Her length, athleticism and interchangeableness will be fun to coach! Kendyll is a high character young lady and exceptional student who Ram fans will enjoy cheering on!”
