Arkansas women’s basketball Coach Mike Neighbors and his staff received big news Saturday when former TCU guard Amber Ramirez committed to the Razorbacks during her official visit.

Ramirez (5-8) was an ESPN 5-star prospect coming out of San Antonio Wagner High School in 2016 and played in the McDonald's All-American Game. ESPN rated her the No. 2 guard and No. 11 overall prospect in nation.

She averaged 26 points, 3.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals as a senior and finished her career with 2,769 points, the second-most in San Antonio city history.

Ramirez was a semifinalist for the Naismith High School Player of the Year and a third team Naismith All-America as a senior. She helped lead USA Basketball to a gold and silver medal in the summer of 2016.

She started 23 of 36 games for TCU as a sophomore last season and averaged 10.3 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists.
