NORMAL, Ill. – Illinois State women's basketball head coach Kristen Gillespie added four players on National Signing Day Wednesday, as Danyella Mporokoso (Aurora, Ill.), Christina Köppel (Wolfsberg, Austria), Kennedy Stowers (St. Peters, Mo.) and Madison Young (Crestwood, Ky.) all signed with Illinois State.
"This class brings incredible balance, talent, and competitiveness," Gillespie said. "Each of them fits who we are and what Redbird Basketball stands for. They'll make an immediate and lasting impact on our program."
Mporokoso, a 5-7 guard out of Waubonsie Valley High School, is ranked No. 66 in the ESPN Top 100 players in the Class of 2026.
