Boise State has signed Brandi Henton to a letter of intent, according to women's basketball coach Gordy Presnell.  We revealed that yesterday.  Now for the details:

Brandi, a 5-9 guard, transfers to Boise State from Yakima Valley Community College.  She played her first year at Long Beach State, where she was named Big West Conference Freshman of the Year in 2011.  Henton has great speed and athleticism and should be an immediate star for the Broncos.  

Henton played in nine games at Yakima Valley before a season-ending injury.  She averaged 24.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 3.1 steals.  At Long each, Henton averaged 12.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 seats in just 24 minutes a game.  Henton shot 38.3% (133-347) from the floor, including 30.1% (41-136) from three-point land and 71.9% (82-114) from the free-throw line.

Brandi earned four letters in basketball at Modesto Christian High School in Modesto, California.  She helped her team win three Section championships and four Trans Valley League Titles.  Henton averaged 21.6 points a game as a senior and was CIF Division IV Player of the Year, all-league, All-CIF, All-California and was a nominee for the McDonald's All-America team.  

Can't wait to see Brandi Henton in Taco Bell Arena--she could be the spark plug the team has needed!
