NESBITT VERBALS
Trisha Nesbitt of Ames has verballed Iowa. The 5-7 guard averaged 14.7 ppg for the 15-7 Ames Little Cyclones. Nesbitt played with IBCA Select Red for the past two summers. She will join former IBCA teammates Jamie Printy and Kelly Krei at Iowa City.

A 4-year varsity starter, Nesbitt plans to redshirt her first year with the Hawks to better prepare her for the physical Big Ten play
Nesbitt chose Iowa over several other Division I schools who offered scholarships because of the relationship developed with the Hawkeye coaching staff. "I'm really looking forward to being a Hawkeye," commented Nesbitt. "I'm excited for the challenges of playing in a great conference like the Big Ten."
She is a 2-time first team all-CIML Iowa selection. Nesbitt also was named to 1st team all-state by the IGCA in 2008. She helped the Little Cyclones to a state tournament berth in 2007 and has helped compile a 52-16 record in three years at Ames High School. "She's a tireless worker who's competitiveness and leadership skills will make her a true asset to the Hawkeyes," said Joel Sullivan, Ames High's Head Coach. "Iowa is getting a great basketball player and more importantly, a fantastic person."
She will sign her National Letter of Intent in November. From the Des Moines Register and Ames Tribune.
