FAYETTEVILLE - Forward Quistelle Williams of East Kentwood, Mich., has signed a national letter of intent to play basketball for Arkansas, Lady Razorbacks Coach Tom Collen announced Wednesday.

Williams, a 6-0 post player, is considered one of the top high school players in Michigan after averaging 16. 4 points and 10 rebounds per game this season. She also averaged six assists and four blocked shots.

"Quistelle is extremely athletic and a great scorer and rebounder," Collen said. "She's versatile enough to play either forward position. We are very excited to add her to our recruiting class. We feel she is the best prospect in the state of Michigan for the Class of 2008."

Williams joins five high school prospects signed by Arkansas during the November early period: Ashley Daniels, a 6-2 forward from Coldwater, Miss.; Julie Inman, a 5-9 guard from Carlisle; Lyndsay Harris, a 5-9 guard from Hoover, Ala.; Ceira Ricketts, a 5-9 point guard from Louisville, Ky.; and Jamesha Townsend, a 6-2 forward from Chula Vista, Calif.

Collen said Williams should fit in well.

"She may be one of the leastheralded players in our current recruiting class because she did not play on the summer circuit with a high-profile club team," Collen said. "She is every bit as talented as any player in our fall signing class that was ranked top 25."

The Lady Razorbacks lost three seniors and one letterman off a team that finished 17-13.
