Gophers women's basketball team lands four out-of-state recruits

Gophers women's basketball coach Marlene Stollings wasn't able to land her first high school recruit from Minnesota, but she signed a talented four-player class for 2016 on Wednesday.

Leading the group is four-star point guard Gadiva Hubbard, who won back-to-back state championships and earned all-state honors for Princess Anne High School in Virginia Beach, Va.

"It's not close to home, but Coach Marlene and (assistant Nikita Lowry Dawkins) have been recruiting me for a long time," Hubbard said in a statement. "Everyone made me feel so comfortable and at home on my visit. UMN has one of the greatest pharmacy schools, allowing me to fulfill my career dream while balling at the same time.
