Whilby pledges
to Lady Raiders
Lyndsey Whilby, a 5-foot-11 wing player from Powder Springs (Ga.) McEachern, orally committed Sunday to play for the Texas Tech women’s basketball team.
“I’m VERY PROUD to announce that I will be furthering my education and taking my basketball talents to Texas Tech University,” Whilby wrote in a note she posted to Twitter.
Whilby is ranked the 54th-best class of 2017 prospect in the country by ESPN HoopGurlz.
The senior guard, who was interested in Kansas, Georgia Tech and Texas Tech, is valued thanks to her ability to rebound on the offensive and defensive ends.
