Coach Katie Meier: UM
"Ray Ray [Suriya] is a tremendous sign for us. In my opinion she was the most exciting open court player in the country this summer and after being named on the Nike Nationals All-Tournament Team, her stock went through the roof. She is considered 'the breakout player of the summer' in her class and it is a credit to my staff for identifying her early - and a credit to Suriya and her mother Anjali for recognizing our early commitment to them and sticking with us. She is the type of player that will have a huge fan club in Coral Gables with her crowd-pleasing, seemingly effortless style of play. & Maria is a great 'get' for our staff. She brings the toughness we have been seeking and the versatility that has become a trademark of Miami 'swing' players. She is a fun-loving, positive person who plays with so much joy and passion. Her future is very bright and I cannot wait to see her bring her physical style of play to the ACC. She comes from a terrific high school program, and her coach, John Merritt, is one of the best in the game. Her basketball IQ - combined with her inside-out game - make her a tough match-up. We expect great things from her the minute she arrives on campus. & Selina has been committed to our program for a few years now. We identified her early and with her family's support, we were able to establish tremendous relationships throughout the recruiting process. She really turned heads this spring and almost all of the major schools took a fly at her. It's a testament to her character that she remained loyal and committed to bringing 'THE U' back to national prominence. Every great program needs an established low post presence - one who changes games on defense and gives you solid scoring on the block. Selina will truly elevate this program and her speed and athleticism fits perfectly into our style of play. & Krystal Saunders was a player we targeted early. She is one of the most mentally tough players I have ever seen. She possesses an incredible shooting touch and range and combines that with a defensive grit and stamina that inspires her teammates," commented Meier. "We love the fact that she comes from the same high school (South Broward) and coaching staff that 'raised' all-time Miami great Tamara James (as well as Lamese James). She has been 'coached hard' and will be ready for the ACC on day one. She's just another great scorer from South Florida that wanted to come here and make a huge impact on her home town team."
