Daisha Simmons, a 5-foot-9 guard from Jersey City, N.J. committed to Rutgers on Monday according to a report on the www.mycentraljersey.com site.

Simmons made an unofficial to UConn last month but the speedy Simmons was a long shot to join UConn's next class of incoming freshmen.

With Simmons' commitment to Rutgers and Cassie Harberts verballing to Arizona State, the recruiting picture is pretty clear cut for the Huskies. UConn already has commitments from Stefanie Dolson, Michala Johnson, Lauren Engeln and Samarie Walker and are very much in the picture with two of the most highly-touted prospects in the current group of high school seniors. Guard Bria Hartley from North Babylon, N.Y. and forward Chiney Ogwumike of Cypress, Tex. are expected to be on hand Friday night along with Dolson, Engeln, Johnson and Walker to UConn's "First Night" festivities. Doors open at 6 p.m. at Gampel Pavilion.
