And she passed on USC. coach d will be butthurt.

Glad she didn't pick U$C wish she would have visited Oregon but it's awesome to see top recruits go to College and not straight to the pro's like Cain,Hunter,Hill,Efrasom,Etc. Best of luck to her in College. GO DUCKS

Well Keni Harrison broke the hurdles world record, where else would there be to go as a hurdler?

Seems like they have a good thing going there at Kentucky. If she can train well there and improve, she should win a couple of National Titles by 2019. Then in 2020, she can go pro and rake in some solid money prior to the 2020 Olympic Season. She'll get a few years of college life and hopefully still get to cash in prior to the next Olympics, a win-win for her.

Well her brother competes for Michigan, and the Ofili sisters are pretty good hurdlers... anyone know if she took a visit there?

She did not visit UM

Only other visit was to USC

I guess academics are not an issue for her.

Depends on what she majors in. Floreal will likely discourage her from being academically ambitious, though.

Kentucky has some very good departments and programs. Unfortunately, the university has had funding issues for some years now (does not apply to sports, of course).

The girl is a WR talent.
