Moriah Jefferson, who is considered the top guard in the Class of 2012, has committed to UConn according to her AAU coach Daryl Horton.

Jefferson is a 5-foot-7 guard from Glenn Height, Texas who becames the first player from Texas to commit to Connecticut.

Jefferson has visited Connecticut twice, once to take in the U.S. national team's exhibition game against Australia and again to visit campus.

Sources said that UConn coach Geno Auriemma asked her at the time of her campus visit if she was serious about considering UConn since so many reports had her associated closely with Baylor. Jefferson assured the Hall of Fame coach that her interest was sincere.

Back in October, I spoke to Corey Hegwood, one of Jefferson's coaches with the powerful DFW Elite AAU program and here is what he had to say.

"She could become the quickest guard to play in the (women's) game," Hegwood said. "She plays with a lot of energy on offense and defense, she has a great handle and is a lockdown defender. I've had boys AAU coaches say that she could start for a boys AAU team."

Jefferson is home schooled and she led the THESA Raiders to yet another National Home School Championship title, the program's fifth straight and is currently tearing it up on the AAU circuit.

Her commitment gives UConn arguably the top two players in the class in Jefferson and 6-foot-4 forward Breanna Stewart from Syracuse, N.Y. as well as highly-touted forward Morgan Tuck out of Bolingbrook, Ill.
