The UConn women's basketball team's incoming recruiting class took a significant hit today when top post prospect Charli Collier announced that she was decommitting from UConn and would be headed to Texas.
Collier announced her decision via her Twitter account.
"I feel like this is the best decision for me personally and everything is for a reason," Collier said in her Twitter post. "This recruiting process has taught me so much about listening to my heart and at the end of the day, I have to do what is the best for me."
The 6-foot-5 Collier averaged 23.8 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocked shots per game as a junior at Barbers Hill High School and she enters her senior season with 2,274 points, 933 rebounds, 134 assists, 165 steals and 247 blocked shots in her high school career.
UConn is still very much in the running for Christyn Williams, a 5-foot-11 gurard out of Central Arkansas Christian School who is considered to be the best player in the Class of 2018. The Huskies haven't been aggressively pursuing many posts in next year's class with Collier, the No. 2 rated player in the class according to ESPN, already committed. However, UConn did make the list of finalists for top five national recruit Olivia Nelson-Ododa, a 6-foot-4 post out of Winder-Barrow High School in Georgia.
UConn is set to return Napheesa Collier (no relation), Azura Stevens, Batouly Camara on the 2018-19 team while 6-3 Katie Lou Samuelson and 6-1 Megan Walker can be used inside as well but certainly Charli Collier was an important piece for the Huskies moving forward.
The Class of 2019 is loaded with elite frontcourt players with 6-2 Samantha Brunelle and 6-4 Aliyah Boston having already taken unofficial visits to UConn.
