HURST - Shortly after signing with Connecticut's powerhouse women's basketball team on Wednesday, it all hit Hurst L.D. Bell's Lexi Gordon.
As she took pictures, with various family members, friends, and coaches from her various teams, she looked around and saw all the people who helped her get to this point.
Then she began to cry.
"I made it," Gordon said later when asked about the tears. "It's official."
Gordon is the No. 29 player in her class according to ESPN's HoopGurlz Recruiting Rankings and the No. 5 wing. She picked UConn over Baylor, TCU, Texas and UCLA.
