2012 Women's College Basketball Team Recruiting Rankings
Hallowed Huskies
Last Updated: 11/22/2011
This fall was one of the most exciting in recent memory, with more than 20 prospects from the ESPNU HoopGurlz 100 remaining undecided in the weeks leading up the early signing period. Drama filled the month of November and led to more changes to the top 10 classes than ever before.
With the top two players -- Breanna Stewart and Moriah Jefferson -- signed, Connecticut had the top spot locked up for quite some time, but fellow Big East programs Rutgers and Syracuse managed to steal some of the headlines for themselves. Rutgers went from unranked to No. 3 in the class with the signing-week additions of No. 8 Rachel Hollivay and No. 17 Kahleah Copper, giving the Scarlet Knights four players in the top 75. Syracuse landed two of the more dynamic perimeter players in the class with No. 13 Brianna Butler and No. 30 Brittney Sykes, elevating it from unranked to No. 6 overall.
Baylor found some last-minute heroics with the commitment of No. 16 Alexis Prince, giving the program four top 100 prospects and five with four-star ratings or better in an attempt to keep the pace with fellow Texans and the 2011 national champions Texas A&M. And what would news in the Longhorn State be without the University of Texas? The Longhorns beat out USC to sign the No. 10 prospect in the class, Imani Stafford, a 6-foot-7 post and one of just 16 five-star prospects in the country.
The stage is set for some movement in the spring with four top 100 prospects remaining on the board.
