Jordan Brand signs Maya; McDaniel sets mark
UConn's all-time leading scorer Maya Moore became the first WNBA player signed by the Jordan Brand which should raise her profile to an even higher level.
"As a student of the game, it is a dream come true to align myself with a brand that has a rich history in sports," Moore said in a release. "Like most kids, I grew up idolizing Michael Jordan and continue to work relentlessly to reach his iconic status on the court. I’m truly motivated to take my career to the next level as a member of Team Jordan."
Speaking of Moore, the Minnesota Lynx will host a live chat with their players (with Moore likely to be featured prominently) on Monday from 11:30 AM to 2 PM on Zfriday. Go to www.lynxbasketball.com for more info.
UCONN RECRUITING TARGET BREAKS RECORD
Xylina McDaniel, one of two uncommitted high school juniors on UConn's recruiting radar, broke an 18-year-old South Carolina state record with a winning throw of 44 feet and 8 inches in the shot put, breaking the mark of 44-7 set by Westside's Ayokka Green.
Her performance is among the top 30 in the nation this spring.

Congratulations to Maya and Xylina.
UConn's Tynisha McMillian won both the shot put and the discus at the ECAC Championships this past weekend.
Shot Put 52.03 feet. Discus 158.6 feet.
Thanks.
Do the UConn women's basketball coaches permit players to participate in another sport?
