Bria Hartley
Bria Hartley, ranked No. 14 in 2010 by ESPN HoopGurlz, made her commitment to Connecticut official by informing Husky coaches on Monday evening, according to her club coach, Apache Paschall of Exodus NYC.
The 5-foot-7 point guard from North Babylon, N.Y., just returned from an official visit to Storrs, Conn., for the Super Show with four previously committed recruits, plus 2011 recruit Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis, who committed to Connecticut this weekend.
Hartley joins four other ranked prospects in coach Geno Auriemma's 2010 recruiting class -- No. 10 Samarie Walker, No. 39 Stefanie Dolson, No. 46 Michala Johnson, and No. 95 Lauren Engeln.
Kentucky probably was the biggest rival for Hartley's commitment, though Georgetown and Tennessee also were among her finalists. Close friend and training partner Jennifer O'Neill of the Bronx, N.Y., committed to Kentucky during an official visit to Lexington this weekend.
