Kentucky women’s basketball gained its first addition of the Kenny Brooks era as 6-foot, 3-inch Australian forward Amelia Hassett announced via Instagram that she would be committing to Kentucky on Thursday afternoon.
Hassett played two seasons at Eastern Florida State College before committing to transfer to Virginia Tech, where Kentucky’s newly hired head coach Kenny Brooks recruited her. After Brooks packed his bags and left for Lexington, Hassett decided to follow.
“Very excited to announce my commitment to (the) University of Kentucky to continue my athletic and academic career!” Hasset wrote in her Instagram caption. “I would like to thank my coaches, friends and family and everyone who helped me throughout this process and gave me the support and guidance.
