Schrann signs letter of intent to Vanderbilt


York Catholic hoops standout Kady Schrann made her commitment to Vanderbilt official on Wednesday, signing a national letter of intent to play for the Commodores. The university announced the signings of Schrann and another recruit -- Archbishop Spalding (Md.) guard Maggie Morrison -- in a release sent out Wednesday, the first day of basketball's early signing period. The news doesn't come as much of surprise: Schrann announced her commitment to Vanderbilt in late September. Verbal commitments, however, are non-binding, and Schrann's letter of intent makes her commitment official. The 5-foot-9 senior is ranked the No. 48 prospect in the country by ESPN HoopGurlz, and the No. 9 point guard in the 2011 class. Commodores head coach Melanie Balcomb said of Schrann in the Vandy news release:

"With the signing of Maggie and Kady, our backcourt has a chance to be one of the strongest and deepest we have had at Vanderbilt. I love the fact that each can handle the ball, score off the dribble and shoot the three. Kady and Maggie are capable of playing any of the three guard positions, and I expect these two to be a dynamic combo."Kady has an uncanny ability to make things happen on both ends of the floor. She can impact a game with or without the ball in her hands, and that is a rare skill."
