Rosemount girls basketball standout Amisha Ramlall burst on to the recruiting scene last season as a freshman — and colleges quickly took notice.

An offer from one school in particular immediately jumped to the forefront. It also fulfilled her dream.

The 5-11 sophomore shooting guard and third-ranked player in the state for the Class of 2027 per Prep Girls Hoops, selected Minnesota as her future destination Thursday night during “Meet The Lady Irish Night” at Rosemount High School.

“When you know, you know,” Ramlall said about making her decision early. “When I was growing up, Minnesota was always my dream school.”

Ramlall selected the Gophers over other Big Ten schools Michigan, Penn State and Wisconsin and the Big 12′s Kansas. Colorado State and University of St. Thomas also figured in the mix of 10 early offers.

“When the Gophers offered me, they had everything I wanted … a great coaching staff, school and academics,” said Ramlall, who plans on earning a degree in the medical field, possibly sports related.

Ramlall is also a big fan of Gophers coach Dawn Plitzuweit, who is in her second season at the helm of the program.

“She deeply cares about her players, not just on the court but off it, too,” Ramlall said. “She is down to earth and really passionate about the game.”
