After weekend visit to Lincoln, Helms cancels next visit and commits to Husker women

Makenzie Helms planned on being in Iowa this weekend for a recruiting trip to visit the Iowa State women’s basketball program, but plans have changed.

After what Helms said was an amazing trip to Lincoln last weekend for a closer look at the Nebraska program, Helms committed to the Huskers in person before heading home to East Haven, Connecticut.

She’s a 5-foot-8 junior guard at East Haven High School and will join the Huskers in 2019. She’s the first known commit for the Huskers’ 2019 class.
