Watch now: Transfer Jada Stinson to join Illinois State women's basketball team

NORMAL — Illinois State women’s basketball coach Kristen Gillespie believes she has added the “one piece missing” for her 2021-22 Redbird team.

Jada Stinson, a 5-foot-8 guard with 46 games of Division I starting experience, is transferring from Arkansas State to join the ISU roster.

“ISU is a good fit because they have a coaching staff that is willing to develop me as a person on and off the court,” Stinson said. “They are a hard-working team, and they play my style of basketball.”

Stinson enters ISU as a graduate student and will work on her master’s degree while having two years of eligibility remaining with the Redbirds.
