After two-week recruiting trip, Australian Bourne landed with Huskers

Nebraska women’s basketball player Isabelle Bourne may have had one of the longest recruiting trips in college sports.

During her trip in 2018, Bourne made the long trek from her home in Canberra, Australia, so she scheduled visits to four colleges one after another. She was gone for about two weeks, spending about two days at each college.

Her first visit was to Utah, followed by Nebraska, Marquette and Arizona State.

“It was full on. It was very full on,” said Bourne of her recruiting trip. “But it came down to Nebraska and Utah in the end and it was a really, really tough decision, but my gut was really with Nebraska.
