NORMAL — It’s hard to argue with the Illinois State women’s basketball team’s history of success with junior college transfers.
In three years under Coach Kristen Gillespie, a junior college addition to the Redbird roster has been the Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Year each season.
DeAnna Wilson of Moberly Area Community College became a prime candidate to continue the streak Friday when she committed to sign a national letter of intent with the Redbirds. Wilson will have three years of eligibility at ISU.
“The family atmosphere when I was on campus, I felt like that was where I wanted to be,” Wilson said.
