Brianna Banks, a 5-foot-9 guard from Newnan, Ga. and a member of the same AAU program as current UConn guard Tiffany Hayes became the second member of the current high school junior class to commit to UConn.

Kimberly Davis Powell, the head coach of the Essence AAU program, confirmed the commitment.

Banks made an unofficial visit to UConn on Feb. 27 when the Huskies played Georgetown and left with a scholarship offer. She joins highly-touted California wing Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis as players in the high school Class of 2011 who have committed to Connecticut.

UConn senior center Tina Charles will be a guest on The Back Page at 4:45 p.m. today. The show can be heard at 1300 and 1410 AM
