  • Chose Illinois because "The minute I stepped onto campus, everyone was so welcoming and made me feel a part of the Illini family. I knew immediately that the coaching staff had my back 100% and wanted to see me succeed in and out of the gym. The girls on the team were so nice and took me under their wing the second I got there. Campus was beautiful and felt like the perfect home for the next four years!
