[B]University of Kentucky women’s basketball coach Matthew Mitchell[/B] has picked up a 2011 commitment from Bria Goss of Ben Davis High School (Ind.).

Goss averaged 15.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists last season.

She visited a Kentucky game to watch South Carolina last season, but fell in love with the Wildcats and decided she wanted to play in Lexington.

[I]When [B]Bria Goss[/B] visited the University of Kentucky for a women’s basketball game in February, she was actually there to see the opposing team: South Carolina.[/I]

[I]But on the drive home, the [COLOR=black]Ben [/COLOR][COLOR=black]Davis[/COLOR] High School standout couldn’t get over how overwhelmed she was with the Wildcats. After a relatively quick three-month courtship, Goss made her commitment to Kentucky official Tuesday.[/I]

[I]”I was so impressed with the way they played,” said Goss, a 5-10 guard who has been a mainstay on the Giants’ back-to-back undefeated Class 4A state championship teams. “One of the big things I was looking for in a school was that I wanted them to play the same style as Ben Davis: In-your-face defense and a fast pace.”[/I]
