It didn't take long for Xylina McDaniel to make a decision after UConn discontinued its recruitment of the 6-foot-1 forward.

As first reported by the Register thanks to information from Spring Valley (S.C.) High coach Anne Long, McDaniel canceled a planned visit to Providence so she and her mother could take an unofficial visit to North Carolina. Obviously they liked what they saw because McDaniel committed to North Carolina according to an ESPN report.

UConn had pursued McDaniel and had her up on a visit during its First Night festivities on Oct. 14 and the Huskies' first official practice the next morning but sensing that McDaniel was likely to commit to a school close to her South Carolina home, UConn stopped recruiting McDaniel.
