LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Little Rock Head Women's Basketball Coach Joe Foley announced Friday that his program has signed Destini Whitehead to a National Letter of Intent.

Whitehead comes to Little Rock after spending the past two years at Panola College where she averaged 8.9 points and 3.1 rebounds over her two seasons along with 3.6 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.2 steals per game.

"We are very excited to add Destini to our basketball team," Foley said. "Her ability to shoot the 3-pointer and score at different levels will help us fill a need on our team. She is a very good athlete that can play on both ends of the floor and I am looking forward to coaching her here at Little Rock."

She led Panola to a 13-8 record this past season while accumulating a 16-13 record in her first season with the Ponies. Last season, she registered seven games with double-digit scoring including a high 19 points against Blinn College.

"Destini has been our rock for the past two seasons and will leave a lasting impression on our program," said Panola Head Coach Alex Furr. "She has been a leader both on and off the floor and competes hard in every game and every practice. She is also an excellent student in the classroom with a 4.0 GPA. It has been an honor to coach her and see her growth as a player and person and I know that success will follow her on her journey to Little Rock."

Not eye-catching numbers, but I trust Coach Foley's ability to evaluate talent.

The Panola site shows her averaging 9.4 points a game this season. She also shot 35.1% from behind the 3 point line which is quite good.
