Two Recent Commits!

The last 24 hours have given the Washington hoops scene some recruitment news with a commitment announced in the 2022 and 2023 classes. Recruiting has been the main topic of discussion following the NCAA viewing periods and pre-high school season. Below we take a dive into each recent college commitment announcement. <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Yesiki Headed to Big Sky Conference</strong></span></h3> 2022 5’10 shooting guard [player_tooltip player_id="27959" first="Kiana" last="Yesiki"] took to Instagram to announce her commitment to Portland State University. Yesiki came into the week as one of the top uncommitted seniors in the state, but now she joins 16 other seniors that are committed to play at the Division 1 level. Yesiki has a strong frame, solid handle and she is precise getting to her spots on the floor to get her shot off. Yesiki projects to have a very good senior season for Eisenhower High School before heading off the compete in the Big Sky Conference. <hr /> <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>First 2023 Commitment In Washington</strong></span></h3> The state’s first commitment in the 2023 class has been officially announced. 2023 6’0 small forward [player_tooltip player_id="115415" first="Amelie" last="Sitterud"] posted on her social media accounts that she has verbally committed to Loyola Marymount University of the West Coast Conference. Sitterud has been deep into the recruitment process for multiple years and ultimately decided that LMU would be her new home following high school graduation. As one of the top shooters in the state, Sitterud has seen her game expand beyond the three point line as drives to the basket, blocked shots on defense and scoring in transition are becoming more regular occurrences and coaches took notice this Summer. She has time to continue to expand her game before she is on campus and the 6 foot wing is definitely projecting on the right path.
