Elena Delle Donne is playing basketball again: this season she'll suit up as a Blue Hen.

The former top high school player and UConn recruit made headlines by leaving UConn, and apparently quitting basketball, last summer: she thought she was done with the sport, but she now says she just couldn't leave her family (including her severely disabled sister).

Delaware coach Tina Martin took a hands-off approach once the standout landed in Newark. "She had been recruited enough," Martin told the AP. "Honestly, I just wanted her to be happy at Delaware whether she ever stepped foot on the basketball court or not."
