On Wednesday, the first day of the early signing period, KK Arnold, Jana El Alfy, Qadence Samuels, and Ashlynn Shade signed their letters of intent to play for UConn women’s basketball, securing their commitment and allowing the team to comment on them.
It’s a balanced group with a point guard (Arnold), wing (Samuels), big (El Alfy), and a versatile, positionless player (Shade). Each year, head coach Geno Auriemma talks about the program’s goal with its recruiting class. Since UConn didn’t need to address any obvious holes next season, Geno’s goal was to bolster the roster as much as possible.
