Ashlynn Shade, the No. 5 player in the class of 2023, announced her commitment to UConn women’s basketball on Wednesday morning.
Shade was in Storrs and sat behind the Huskies’ bench during their win over Creighton on Sunday. The 5-foot-10 point guard from Noblesville, Indiana first received an offer from UConn in July and put the Huskies in her top eight alongside Indiana, Louisville, North Caroline, Notre Dame, Stanford, Tennessee and Vanderbilt in August.
“I like the history behind the school and how competitive their basketball program was and currently still is.
