Arielle Roberson, a 6-foot-1 senior forward at San Antonio’s Wagner High School and a sister of Colorado men’s basketball player Andre Roberson, has given an oral commitment to CU women’s coach Linda Lappe, according to the Boulder Daily Camera.
Arielle averaged 18 points this season and also was considering Boston College, North Carolina State and San Diego State. She extended the commitment while in Boulder this week to watch the CU men’s team defeat Texas Southern in the National Invitation Tournament and the women’s team beat UC Riverside in the Women’s NIT.
