Storrs (AP) -- University of Connecticut women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma says Elena Delle Donne, the Huskies' top recruit, has decided not to enroll at UConn.
Auriemma says the 6-foot-5 forward has informed him she has decided not to play college basketball. Delle Donne said she needed "some time off" when she left summer school at UConn in June and returned home to Delaware.
Auriemma declined to comment Saturday beyond saying he had been "recently informed" of Delle Donne's decision, and he extended good wishes to her and her family.
Delle Donne was last season's national high school player of the year and was courted by UConn, Tennessee and other schools before she committed to the Huskies. |
