Wearing gold Gophers gear, Christian announced her commitment on social media. “I couldn’t be more excited to see what the next four years will hold for me,” she said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Christian played AAU basketball for the Wisconsin Lakers with current Gophers player Grace Grocholski, a Kettle Moraine (Wis.) product who is in the running to be the Big Ten Conference’s freshman of the year.
