Glenn Nelson/ESPN.comKyvin Goodwin-Rogers of Lebanon, Ky., has the versatility to fill up a stat sheet.

Marley Hill of Pickerington, Ohio, picked Cincinnati this week. Hill, a four-star class of 2013 prospect, will provide the Bearcats with a quality post option as they look to ascend into the top half of the ultra-competitive Big East conference.

The 6-foot-3 post becomes the first pledge of the class for coach Jamelle Elliot, and the fact that Hill chose the Bearcats speaks volumes about the work that Elliot and her staff are putting in on the recruiting trail. Hill will provide them with leverage to help recruit other top 150-caliber recruits throughout the summer and fall.

Dalee picks Boston College

Boston College's new coach, Erik Johnson, knew he had to build a foundation early with his class of 2013. This week, Emilee Dalee of Sharon, Mass., helped Johnson do just that after she gave a verbal commitment to join the Eagles. At 6-2, Dalee will provide a versatile forward option who can score facing the basket.

The three-star prospect is at her best offensively when she attacks the rim with her slashing ability. She is the type of player that rebuilding programs like Boston College use to get back into the conference-championship hunt.

Goodin-Rogers exploring options

Kyvin Goodin-Rogers of Lebanon, Ky., was a standout in front of our staff at the Midwest Showdown over Memorial Day Weekend. This past weekend, Goodin-Rogers decided to re-open her recruitment after originally committing to in-state powerhouse Louisville a year ago.

A four-star prospect, Goodin-Rogers will be in the discussion as we expand our class of 2013 rankings to 100 in the near future. A number of programs that are regular visitors to the NCAA Tournament will be calling her over the next couple of weeks, trying to get the talented 6-2 power forward on campus before the July evaluation period or in early August.
