Sara Hammond, a 6-foot-2 rising senior forward from Rockcastle County High in Mt. Vernon, Ky., will be making an official visit to UConn from Sept. 9-11.

Hammond's father Eddie said on Monday night that UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma was hoping to have Hammond come up that weekend since he will be leaving for the Czech Republic to coach the United States national team in the FIBA World Championships after wrapping up training camps in the Washington, D.C. and Hartford areas next month.

Eddie Hammond said that UConn assistant coach Marissa Moseley and possibly another member of Auriemma's staff is planning to make a home visit on Sept. 17 and that his daughter will likely only take four of the five available official campus visits.

Louisville, who the Hammonds have been to multiple times since it is only about two hours away, Western Kentucky and Vanderbilt are other schools they are expected to take official visits to.

Although the dates of her other official visits have not been finalized, Eddie Hammond said it's quite possible that his daughter could make her college decision by the end of next month after the official and home visits are complete.
