The New Class Checks In
June 22, 2008
NORMAN, Okla. — Two additions to the University of Oklahoma women’s basketball program arrived on campus this week.
Freshmen Whitney Hand and Jasmine Hartman enrolled in June intersession and began classes Monday, allowing them to participate in upcoming preseason workouts with the team.
Hand, a 6-1 shooting guard from Fort Worth, Texas, and Hartman, a 5-10 point guard from Bellaire, Texas, give the Sooners more talented depth. All 12 players from the 2007-08 squad return for 2008-09.
Hand averaged 25 points, 13 rebounds and six assists while leading Liberty Christian School (Argyle, Texas) to back-to-back TAPPS Class 5A state championships. She was named a high school All-American by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association.
Hartman led the nation in assists while piloting Bellaire High School to a regional quarterfinal appearance in the state tournament. Under Hartman’s direction, Bellaire collected a 36-2 record and spent most of the season ranked in the top 10 of the USA Today Preps Rankings.
As well as attending their first college classes, the duo spent the first few days in Norman undergoing OU’s student-athlete orientation process.
