If you haven't seen it already, it's worth taking a few minutes to watch the recent King5 special on Seattle Christian's Katie Collier, a 6-3 forward who has signed a Letter Of Intent to play basketball for Kevin McGuff at Washington.

Before the season, Collier was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia and has been undergoing treatments at UW Medical Center. But that hasn't dampened Collier's incandescent personality, or her drive to have a terrific senior year at Seattle Christian.

Right now, Collier is attempting the unthinkable - undergoing chemotherapy treatments while playing basketball.

"I would feel so much worse if I wasn't playing," Collier told King5's Chris Egan.

Collier is part of the 2012-13 incoming class at Washington, McGuff's first full recruiting class as the new leader of the program.
