Thursday, June 30, 2005

Kansas women’s basketball recruit Lindsay Ballweg orally committed to play basketball June 24.

Ballweg is a 5-foot-10 junior shooting guard from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, and is one of the top recruits from the Kansas City area. She averaged 19 points her junior year, was 38 percent from behind the arc and 52 percent from the two-point range.

Ballweg is the second Johnson County native, along with Danielle McCray, to commit to the Kansas women’s basketball program in her junior year.

Rick Hetzel, Aquinas head women’s basketball coach, said Ballweg was a good competitor.

“She’s really good at the guard spot, she’s a good shooter and she’s getting better with the basketball all the time,” Hetzel said.

Ballweg’s oral commitment is just a partial commitment until the signing period in November.
