Christian, who played in AAU with current Gophers player Grace Grocholski, is ranked by ESPN as the 52nd highest recruit in the class.

“I chose the University of Minnesota because I connected with and loved the entire coaching staff,” Christian said in a statement. “Their philosophy is something that really resonated with me. The university is also close to my friends and family, so I’m excited to have them near me to support my basketball career.”
