Engeln commits

UConn's ever expanding recruiting class is now at four after the oral commitment of Laguna Hills wing Lauren Engeln on Thursday.

Engeln, who was at the Final Four with her parents to watch UConn win its sixth national title, informed the coaches of her decision today according to her AAU coach Russ Davis.

"She didn't really narrow her list but once she went to UConn, what's better than that?" Davis said.

The 5-foot-11 Engeln joins 6-5 Stefanie Dolson out of Minisink Valley in Slate Hill, N.Y., 6-2 Michala Johnson out of Montini Catholic in Lombard, Ill. and 6-1 Samarie Walker of Chaminade Julienne High of Dayton, Ohio as the high school juniors who have committed to UConn. The last piece of UConn's recruiting class could be 5-foot-10 guard Bria Hartley out of North Babylon High, who was named the Gatorade New York Player of the Year as a junior.

Hartley was hoping to visit UConn this week but those plans fell through since UConn was in the Final Four and UConn coach Geno Auriemma was in New Jersey for Thursday's WNBA draft and will leave with Maya Moore Friday for the Wooden Award banquet.
