by RENO, Nev. – Nevada women’s basketball head coach Amanda Levens has signed three to her 2020 recruiting class.
“I am excited to introduce the newest members of our Pack,” said Levens. “Audrey, Natalie and Kaylee all exemplify what we are looking for in recruiting. They are motivated students, great teammates and have high standards for themselves in all they do.”
Kaylee Borden (Kiowa/Comanche) – 5-6 – Freshman – Guard – Anadarko, Okla./Anadarko HS –
Borden, a native of Oklahoma, has had a hand in the success at Anadarko High School helping her team to three consecutive conference championships from 2018-20 and an Oklahoma 4A state title in 2019. Borden has improved on the court in each of her high school seasons, increasing her points per game output from 9.5 points per game as a freshman, to 12.0 as a sophomore and to 15.0 as a junior. Part of the increase in that production can be attributed to her 3-point shooting as she connected on a career-high 44.8 percent from beyond the arc last season.
“I feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to coach a great young lady that possesses a rare combination of being a great athlete with tremendous work ethic, and is still wanting to grow as a player, as well as a person,” said Borden’s high school coach Jeff Zinn.
Following her junior year, Borden received an all-state honorable mention and was a two-time Oklahoma Vype 100 selection, a media outlet covering high school sports in Oklahoma. In addition to basketball, Borden is also an accomplished track and field athlete, capturing two conference long jump titles and an Oklahoma 4A state championship in the long jump in 2018. She played AAU for Oklahoma Unity and Texas U.
“Kaylee is a crafty, athletic guard who possesses a tremendous work ethic. She is an outstanding multi-sport athlete, true competitor and is relentlessly determined to succeed in everything that she does,” said Levens. “We feel that Kaylee will be an awesome addition to our program bringing a tireless work ethic and commitment to winning.”
