CEDAR CITY, Utah - The Thunderbird women's basketball team added three future T-Birds to their squad on National Signing Day, with three impressive looking prospects joining the Thunderbird family.
Geassy Germano
A former member of the Brazilian National Team, Geassy Germano will bring her international experience to Southern Utah this season. The forward was a three-star rated recruit by ESPN, with a Scout's Grade of 90.
"Geassy comes to us having played for the U16-U17 Brazil National team, so having an international player who has played at that level is an exciting thing," SUU head coach Chris Boettcher said. "She will help continue to build the athleticism that we want in our program, she's a great personality that will add a lot to our team."
Germano prepped in Raleigh, North Carolina where she played for Friendship Christian Academy and the Carolina Waves.
Lacee Jenkins
The Thunderbirds will be adding an Arizona native to the roster moving forward, as the Gilbert product will be lacing it up for the T-Birds.
Jenkins played for Williams Field High School in Arizona, where she played shooting guard standing at 5'8''.
"To get someone like Lacey that has played at the elite level is exciting for our program," Boettcher said. "We are excited that we are able to land a recruit that has experience at that caliber is really going to add to our program."
Last season Jenkins averaged 16.7 ppg, and pulled down 8.6 rpg. She also had a major impact during her sophomore season, scoring 15.1 ppg for the varsity team.
Hannah Robins
The Thunderbirds have signed Hannah Robins from Nephi, Utah where she competed for Juab High School. She was also part of the Salt Lake Metro AAU team.
"We are elated that the time has finally come where Hannah can sign, we have been recruiting her since she was a freshman in high school," Boettcher said. "It's always exciting to get former alumnus child to commit with the knowledge and excitement they already have about the university. Her dad played football here and her mom played basketball for SUU so it is special to be able to continue traditions like that. To finally have Hannah sign with us is a big day for us and a relief that we can officially announce and make her a member of the T-Bird program. With Hannah's size and length we expect her to come in and be able to compete for playing time right away."
Robins averaged 14.1 ppg and 9.9 rpg during the 2016-17 season for the wasps. Her points scored was the most on her team by a margin of 150 points, and she pulled down over 200 boards during the course of the season . She also finished the season with 22 steals and 16 assists.
