The off-season addition of 6-foot-5 center Jessica McCormack, a transfer from Washington, is looming larger and larger for the UConn women’s basketball team. It was learned Friday that top recruit Kelsey Bone, a 6-5 senior center from Stafford, Texas, has eliminated the Huskies from the list of schools that she is considering.
Bone is ranked No. 2 in the Class of 2009 by HoopGurlz.com.
UConn has already received an oral commitment from Kelly Faris, a 5-11 senior guard from Plainfield, Ind. It continues to target Krista Gross, a 6-foot swingman from Concord, N.C who is rated No. 23 in the class.
At this point, Gross will be the only undecided member of the Class 2009 making a recruiting visit during the opening weekend of the preseason Oct. 17-18. The visit kicks off with First Night festivities at Gampel Pavilion Oct. 17.
Bone is currently operating with a list of Illinois, Texas A&M, South Carolina, Texas and Tennessee. She averaged 18.8 points and 8.8 rebounds in leading Dulles High to a 34-5 record and an appearance in the state Class 5A Region III semifinals last season.
