A keenly interested observer in the crowd of 13,115 at the UofL-North Carolina women’s basketball game Sunday was Asia Durr, the No. 1 guard in her recruiting class who has signed to play for Jeff Walz at the University of Louisville next season. To her left is Tajah Cole, another highly-regarded guard who has signed with UofL.
Durr, who hailed from St. Pius in Atlanta, recently scored 51 points in a game against Columbia. In another game, she had 41 of her team’s 50 points. Durr is averaging 32 points, 5.8 rebounds and two assists per game, making a strong case for being the national player of the year.
Also on hand was Lauren Cox, a 6-foot-4 center from Texas, who competes with Durr for the No. 1 player in the 2016 recruiting class, as well as Kylee Shook, a 6-foot-3 center from Colorado, and Tori McCoy, a 6-foot-4 center from Illinois.
