Tampa wing player Turner commits to ISU

NORMAL — Deja Turner, a 5-foot-11 wing player from Plant High School in Tampa, Fla., has committed to sign a national letter of intent to join the Illinois State women’s basketball team.

"To pick one thing I like about ISU is hard," Turner said. "But if I had to choose one, I would go with the basketball culture of not only the school, but the town."

Turner averaged 15.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.5 steals and 2.4 assists for a Plant team that posted a 21-6 record last season.

“Deja is an athletic kid, very smooth, nice flow to her game,” said Rob Walker, director of Turner’s club team, the Tampa Thunder.
