Maryland women’s basketball adds a pair of commits in 2022 guards Brianna McDaniel and Gia Cooke

After losing five of its players to the transfer portal last week, Maryland women’s basketball and head coach Brenda Frese have started to reload.

Four-star guards Brianna McDaniel and Gia Cooke announced their commitment to Frese’s program via Twitter on Monday. The Next Hoops’ Howard Megdal was first to report the news Sunday night. Frese retweeted Megdal’s report prior to the announcements, all but confirming the news.

Both McDaniel and Cooke were committed to Texas A&M but announced that they would reopen their commitments on April 5 and April 7, respectively. The change of plans came after former Texas A&M head coach Gary Blair, after 20 seasons at the school, announced his retirement following this past season.
