Alicia "Red" Payne heading to University Tennessee at Chattanooga

I received an email from Alicia "Red" Payne stating that she has decided to continue her basketball career at UT-Chatt. Red is the 40th ranked point guard by ESPN Hoopgurlz.

Here is the email I received.

My name is Alicia "Red" Payne. I play for Memphis White Station HS and Memphis Elite- Daniels. I am a rising Senior that will graduate as part of the 2012 class.

I have recently made my decision to verbally commit to University Tennessee Chattanooga Women's Basketball program. I am so excited to play for Coach Wes Moore, his staff and with my future teammates. I have made this decision after unofficially visiting U. T. Chattanooga this weekend. In addition, I considered Troy University, East Tennessee State, Southeast Missouri. But I decided on U.T. Chattanooga. because of the excitement around the program, what the coaching staff and players believe we can do during my 4 years. University Tennessee Chattanooga, I feel is a great fit for me as a student/athlete.
