Samarie Walker may have not thought that playing for UConn Huskies women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma was the best thing for her. Obviously Breanna Stewart doesn’t feel that way.

Breanna StewartStewart, a 6’4″ high school junior center from North Syracuse, NY, has decided to give the Huskies an oral commitment. Stewart chose UConn over Duke, a team the Huskies killed last night, and Penn State.

She is the second high school junior to give UConn an oral commitment for the 2012-2013 season. Morgan Tuck, a teammate of Stewart’s on the 2010 FIBA U-17 Team, is the other.

Stewart is considered the top recruit by ESPN HoopGurlz in the 2012 class.
