The UNT women's team got some good news with the signing of Fort Worth Western Hills guard Audrianna Simpson on Tuesday. Simpson (5-9) is ranked by one recruiting service, Premier Basketball Report, as the 44th-best player in Texas.
“She is an incredibly gifted athlete who will help us to continue to build on our defensive intensity and offensive aggressiveness,” UNT coach Shanice Stephens said in a release. “At the guard spot, she displays strong court vision and her impressive vertical allows her to be an incredible rebounder.”
I can't say I've seen Simpson play, but she must possess some good intangibles when you get past the numbers. An all-District 7-4A selection, Simpson averaged just 9 points and four rebounds per game, but she appears to be a defensive-stopper type (college teams can use those) with four steals per contest.
Last season at Western Hills Simpson was named to the District 7-4A second team as she averaged nine points a game. Simpson pulled down four rebounds a game and had three steals a contest last season.
