Newcomers to watch in women's basketball
By The Associated Press
(AP) -- Kelsey Bone, 6-foot-5, South Carolina
Dawn Staley's first big-time recruit for the Gamecocks, Bone could be an immediate impact player. The John Wooden national high school player of the year spurned some of the top programs in the country to join Staley.
China Crosby, 5-5, Virginia
The New York City native is going to make big contributions for the Cavaliers right away. A talented point guard who can also score, Crosby will take some pressure off All-America guard Monica Wright.
Elena Delle Donne, 6-5, Delaware.
After a year away from basketball this former national high school player of the year is playing again for the Blue Hens. She will be tough to guard with her size and ability to shoot.
Skylar Diggins, 5-9, Notre Dame.
The Big East preseason rookie of the year, Diggins will fit right in with a very talented Notre Dame roster. She has the versatility to play several positions, and coach Muffet McGraw already has called Diggins the best player she's ever recruited.
Kelly Faris, 5-11, Connecticut
The Huskies have had a lot of success over the last few years with freshmen. Faris, the lone true first-year player on the team, already has impressed coach Geno Auriemma with her basketball knowledge and leadership.
