UConn women’s basketball’s two 2023 commitments have both been named the best players in their respective states. KK Arnold earned the Wisconsin Gatorade Girls’ Basketball Player of the Year while Ashlynn Shade claimed the Indiana Gatorade Girls’ Basketball Player of the Year.
Arnold is a 5-foot-10 point guard out of Germantown, Wisconsin who committed to the Huskies back on Nov. 22. ESPN ranks her as the No. 8 prospect in the class of 2023. Arnold is known for her ability to drive to the basket and is also regarded as a physical guard that doesn’t shy away from contact.
