Awesome (Recruiting) News:

Today 6'4 F/C Breanna Stewart (North Syracuse, NY), the #1-ranked player in the ESPN HoopGurlz Class of 2012, has orally committed to play for UConn. She narrowed her list from 10 teams in October to three this winter -- Connecticut, Duke and Penn State. However, she has known Storrs was the place for her for more than a week and was making the visit, in part, to make her commitment in person. Her commitment gives Auriemma's program back-to-back recruiting classes with the No. 1 player in the country. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, a teammate of Stewart's with USA Basektball and the top senior in the country, signed a National Letter of Intent with Connecticut in November. Stewart is joined by #12-ranked F Morgan Tuck in UConn's growing Class of 2016.
