FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – With the early signing period winding down, the University of Arkansas women’s basketball team added to its impressive class Wednesday when Muskogee, Oklahoma’s Aaliyah Wilson signed a National Letter of Intent to be a Razorback.

“Aaliyah Wilson is one of the top players in the entire country in the 2016 class, Dykes said. “She is an explosive attacking guard who is a very physical defender. She is a terrific rebounder and can score in multiple ways. She has a chance to be special.”

She averaged 19.2 points and 9.1 rebounds per game last season and is the No. 6-ranked player in the state this season. ESPN Hoopgulrz ranks Wilson as the No. 5 guard and a No. 30 overall prospect.

Wilson earned Muskogee High School Senior of the Week honors recently and is active in 2much2lose, African American Heritage Club and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. She will pursue a professional career in the WNBA as well as a career as a physical therapist.
