Three women’s basketball recruits schedule visits for Madness
October 12, 2011
UK Hoops head coach Matthew Mitchell is counting on Big Blue Madness to deliver huge recruiting results.
Recent success on the court for the Cats has helped to lead to success on the recruiting trail for Mitchell, as he has secured top-1 A Good Speech 5 recruiting classes both of the last two years, according to the ESPN HoopGurlz team rankings.
UK currently has no commitments for next year, but that could change soon. The team will play host to several visitors for Big Blue Madness, including many who are in the ESPN HoopGurlz top 100.
Freshman Azia Bishop, who attended as a recruit last year, said being at Big Blue Madness can have a tremendous impact on a recruit.
“The atmosphere is amazing,” Bishop said. “I didn’t know about the (fans’) dedication to Kentucky basketball.”
Bria Goss, also an incoming freshman, said she “got chills” at last year’s Madness.
“If I hadn’t already decided,” Goss said, “I would have committed right on the spot.”
