CHOCTAW — Ana Llanusa still wonders at times why it took a car ride home to make up her mind.
After bursting onto the scene at the state basketball tournament as a freshman at Choctaw High School, she had been invited on an unofficial visit to Oklahoma. While she was in Norman, Sooner coach Sherri Coale surprised her with a scholarship offer.
“She told me to think about it, and my parents were telling me to think about it,” Llanusa said. “Deep down inside I already knew that's where I wanted to go.”
Llanusa called Coale back within minutes of arriving home to commit.
