As the early signing period comes to a close, UConn women’s basketball head coach Geno Auriemma walks away as a winner yet again.
After not having any signees for the Class of 2018 just a week ago, Auriemma landed Christyn Williams - the No. 1 recruit in the class - and just added the No. 5 recruit for 2018 in 6-foot-4 inch forward Olivia Nelson-Ododa.
The Winder, Georgia native announced her decision Wednesday afternoon and signed her National Letter of Intent to make her commitment to Huskies official.
While Nelson-Ododa is skilled in the post, she can step out and hit outside shots and is known for defensive ability, using her tall frame and long wingspan to her advantage.
