That didn't take long. She went home. Only 47 miles form her home in Buford. Congratulations to Mikayla. I wish her all the success in the world. I'll continue to follow her at Georgia. She lost her shot in Storrs. I bet she'll find it real quick in Athens.
ATHENS, Ga. — Mikayla Coombs, a 2017 McDonald's All-American and the state of Georgia Gatorade Player of the Year, will transfer from the University of Connecticut and join the Georgia Lady Bulldog basketball program, head coach
Joni Taylor announced.
Coombs played two seasons at UConn and will have two years of eligibility remaining at Georgia.
The 5-foot-10 guard joins an already talented incoming class that includes five-star point guard Chloe Chapman (Mitchellville, Md.), five-star forward Javyn Nicholson (Lawrenceville, Ga.) and four-star forward Jordan Isaacs (Alpharetta, Ga.). Before Coombs' signing, the Lady Bulldogs' 2019 class was ranked No. 14 nationally according to espnW.
"Mikayla is the complete package," Taylor said. "Her accolades speak for themselves, but what I am most excited about is that she is a high-character young lady who is coming back home to play for her state. We pride ourselves in that, and I am so glad she has made the decision to join our program. Mikayla's athleticism is off the charts and she is an explosive play-maker. She is someone Lady Bulldog fans will enjoy watching over the next few years."
