Five-star Hopkins senior standout Nia Hollie announced Thursday she will play for Michigan State over the Gophers.
Hollie, a 6-foot-1 forward and ranked the 48th-best player in the 2016 class by ESPN.com, made her announcement on the KSTP Channel 5 sports newscast.
She picked the Spartans because she said their style of play fit her best.
Coffie said it was a difficult decision to say no to Minnesota coach Marlene Stollings, who built a relationship with her less than a year after taking over the program.
Stollings is still looking to land her first high school recruit from Minnesota.
