Church, a 5-foot-10 senior at Lathrup High School in Southfield, Mich., joins four-star wing Destiny Pitts from Detroit Country Day High School in Minnesota's class.
She also considered schools such as Stanford, Oklahoma State, Michigan and DePaul, according to her ESPN.com profile. Church is a four-star prospect on ProspectsNation.com's recruiting site.
At Lathrup, Church averaged 19 points a game as a junior, while earning all-state honors. She also shared the state's Class A Player of the Year award with Mardrekia Cook, now a Michigan State freshman.
Two losses to the Wildcats in two weeks are big reasons Minnesota likely won’t play again this season.
