Hassell to Georgia

Barring any late surprises, UConn will not be adding any post players in its upcoming recruiting class.

Kelsey Bone, a consensus top five recruit, had been the top priority among post recruits for the Huskies for some time before dropping UConn from her list of schools recently. Now comes the news that Jasmine Hassell, a 6-foot-2 forward from Lebanon, Tenn. has committed to Georgia.

UConn had recently started recruiting Hassell and were trying to set up a date for her to visit the UConn campus.

The Huskies already have a commitment from Kelly Faris, a 5-foot-11 guard from Plainfield, Ind. and is pursuing Krista Gross, a 6-foot wing from Charlotte, N.C. Gross and Faris are both expected to be on hand for UConn's "First Night" festivities on Oct. 17 and the first full-scale practice of the 2008-09 season the following day.

However, unless the Huskies get in late with another post player, UConn will be left with current freshman Heather Buck out of Stonington High and University of Washington transfer Jessica McCormack as the only post players in the program following the graduation of Tina Charles and Kaili McLaren in 2010. It seems to be a safe assumption that securing the services of at least one and perhaps multiple post players would be a priority for the Huskies in the next recruiting class.
