One of the top junior prospects in the United States recently came off the recruiting board.
Stellar point guard Alecia Sutton of Parkway North gave a verbal commitment to the University of Texas.
The 5’9” Sutton is rated one of the top junior point guards in the country. She received more than two dozen offers, but eventually chose the Longhorns over Louisville, Maryland, Tennessee, UCLA and Nebraska.
Sutton enjoyed a breakthrough summer nationally while playing for the Missouri Phenom. She was the Most Valuable Player of the Super 64 Tournament in Frisco, TX. and the Adidas Nationals in Atlanta after leading the Phenom to the championship in both tournaments. She capped off a great summer by being invited to the USA Basketball Trials in Colorado Springs, where she competed against the top prep players in the country.
A three-year starter at Parkway North, Sutton led the Vikings to a 21-7 record and a berth in the Class 5 state quarterfinals last season. She averaged 18.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 3.0 steals a game while shooting 53 percent from the field.
Sutton has led the Vikings to a 4-0 start this season entering the Visitation Christmas Tournament.
