LCA's Barnette commits to UK women

[ChattyKat]

Sarah Beth Barnette, one of the top sophomore basketball players in the state last season, has verbally committed to Kentucky, her father Ross Barnette confirmed Friday morning.
The Lexington Christian Academy swing player spoke with Coach Matthew Mitchell Thursday night and told him that she was headed to UK.
“Coach Mitchell solidified the deal for us,” Ross Barnette said. “He’s shown a lot of class in all of our dealings with him and we felt really comfortable with him and UK.”
Several schools around the country were showing interest in the 6-foot-2 Barnette, including Duke, Louisville, Western Kentucky and Arkansas, her father said.

I take the same philosophy as stated on most of the men's recruiting threads. You have keep the best players from your state in house. There is something about playing for the your state school.

Sounds like a great get for the Lady Cats.

Since she and Samantha Drake can't sign LOIs yet, let's hope they stick to their commitments! We lost one verbal this year.
