YAY! YAY! YAY!!! I thought after comments after her visit were a good sign, but I didn't expect a decision until after the Kentucky visit!

Does this mean she is not visiting Kentucky?

I would hope so. It was reported earlier that she cancelled her visit to Kentucky.

I don't follow recruiting on the women's side as much as the men's: is that Wiggins comparison legit?

That would be some hype. They are comparing Wiggins to King James (although he doesn't have the body).

If it's true, then Helloooooooo Nurse.

And with that, UConn moves up to the #2 class!

tweet from Indiana beat writer says Kia Nurse cancelled visits to Kentucky and Tennessee, although I don't think a visit to Knoxville was ever scheduled.

Jeff Rabjohns ‏@JeffRabjohns 13 Nov
Elite 2014 women's prospect Kia Nurse has cut her list to Indiana, UConn, Penn St after canceling visits to Tenn, Kentucky.

Zorro · Nov 15, 2013

How did the various rating/ranking sites have her ranked? I seem to remember seeing a #65 somewhere. My guess is that, like players from Ossining, Canadian players would be ranked lower than their true abilities would indicate.

I don't know if I'd go that far, but she was a starter for the Canadian Sr Nat'l Team as a 17-year-old and more than held her own.

She's a big guard who is fast, can handle the ball, can shoot, is fearless and a tenacious defender. UConn fans will love her.

Zorro · Nov 15, 2013

So next season we will have MoJet, Saniya, BB, Nurse, Williams, Edwards and Ekmark. And the year after, we are after Durr and Cole and Gorecki. That is a BUNCH of guards!

semper · Nov 15, 2013

Me want biggie.
Of course this is good news!

UConnCat · Nov 15, 2013

This was a comment I posted to Jim Fuller at his blog back in April:

If you can, find out if UConn coaches are interested in 2014 Canadian guard named Kia Nurse. She's from Hamilton, ONT and reportedly playing very well down at the Boo Williams event. She played on Canadian U17 team and wants to play college ball. Her sister played for Curt Miller at Bowling Green and Miller is recruiting Kia to Indiana Univ. I know UConn already has commits from guards but she seems like a UConn type kid. Both parents were great athletes; uncle is Donovan McNabb. Hamilton only 7 hrs from Storrs

I'm glad the UConn coaches took notice of Nurse.

ASweet3781 · Nov 15, 2013

Nice feature on Kia-

Those first seven names are the topic of conversation tonight in the homes of Katie Lou Samuelson and A'ja Wilson. And there will be a lot of texting as well.

Just saw that. I wonder if the Canadian site went too quickly with this and maybe Nurse wants to make an announcement or didn't inform the PSU and Indiana coaches.

Glad this wasn't someone from CT media that put this out there.
