Last week we took a look at the recruits signed to National Letters of Intent during the fall signing period who will join men's programs for the 2010-11 season. Now, it's the women's turn.
As always, a word of warning: Recruiting is an inexact science. What looks good on paper doesn't necessarily look good on the hardwood. And, often, the opposite is the case.
And, many thanks to the respective sports information directors at the conference school for providing a good portion of the information compiled here.
Your blogger has seen a couple of these players in person, and will mention that in those cases. Otherwise, information here is mostly statistical in nature. Here goes, in no particular order ...
