Auriemma already has his eyes on what he hopes are future legends.
Adding to a 2010 recruiting class that includes Samarie Walker and Stefanie Dolson, two of the best in their class, the Huskies added 6-foot-3 forward Michala Johnson. Johnson, out of Montini High School in Chicago, gave Auriemma her verbal commitment Wednesday.
She sat out all but one game last season following ACL surgery to fix an injury sustained over the summer. Johnson said she is scheduled to begin running by May, but won’t play until the season begins in November.
A Chicago Sun-Times All--Area selection as a sophomore, Johnson visited Storrs on Selection Monday and had a chance to meet the team. It was the comfort level around the players and coaching staff that sold her on the Huskies.
With UConn in the midst of another successful season, Johnson is excited about the chance to team up with Walker, Dolson, Caroline Doty, Tiffany Hayes and Moore, who will be a senior when Johnson arrives.
“I’m very proud of them and glad that I can be a part of that and one day play in a tournament like they are,” she said.
Johnson was also considering Duke, Georgia, Vanderbilt, Maryland and Penn State.

I don't know how I came across your blog, but I find it kind of ironic considering your lady huskies just beat my lady devils. If I was feeling more creative I would leave some sort of tirade, but I didn't see the game, so, I will just say, good game.
