Connecticut has officially released Elena Delle Donne from her basketball scholarship, a move that could allow the former top-rated recruit to play at Delaware.
Delle Donne announced last week that she would not be playing basketball at Connecticut or enrolling at the school.
UConn released Delle Donne on Wednesday from the letter of intent she signed last year, contingent on her enrollment at Delaware.
UConn says its release includes a consent allowing Delle Donne to play any sport this school year, including basketball for the Blue Hens.
Delle Donne would be eligible to play volleyball immediately at Delaware, but would need to get permission from the NCAA to play basketball this season, because she spent two days in summer school at UConn in June, and could be considered a transfer student. AP
