No. 50 Jada Terry picks the SEC
Jada Terry of Cedar Hill, Texas, has verbally committed to Texas A&M, according to her club team director, Corey Hegwood of DFW T-Jack Elite. The 6-foot-3 post also considered Florida State, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Louisville, Oklahoma State, South Carolina, TCU, Texas and Texas Tech before deciding on the Aggies.
"Having the opportunity to play for a great coach (Gary Blair and staff) and a program that recently won a national championship really excited Jada," Hegwood said in an email. "She feels she will thrive under Coach Blair's system and fit in perfectly with the players currently in the program."
Terry, who is ranked 50th in the ESPN HoopGurlz Super 60, committed more than a year ago to Texas, but reopened her recruiting in April when Gail Goestenkors stepped down as the Longhorns coach. The four-star prospect is the first commitment for the Aggies in the 2013 class.

No. 34 Courtney Walker gives Big 12 program an early edge in 2012 recruiting
Courtney Walker, the 5-foot-7 guard from Oklahoma City, Okla., told ESPN HoopGurlz she verbally committed to Texas A&M over the weekend.
"I have had the opportunity to visit some colleges and weigh all my options," Walker said in a text message. "And I believe that A&M is where my heart is."

Walker, a junior at Edmond Santa Fe High School, was an All State honorable mention selection as a sophomore. In July 2009, she verbally committed to Oklahoma but reopened her recruitment in September. She chose Texas A&M over Finalists Baylor, Oklahoma and Texas.
