UConn commits De'Janae Boykin and Napheesa Collier will join UConn recruiting target Arike Ogunbowale as well as Natalie Chou (who is replacing the injured Katie Lou Samuelson) for a hand-picked team that is favored to win the U.S. women's 3x3 U-18 national title.

That quartet is one of five teams vying for the right to represent the U.S.in the Youth Olympic Games in China from Aug.

The brother of UConn incoming freshman Courtney Ekmark is on one of the 12 men's teams competing in the event which runs from Friday-Sunday at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.
