INDIANAPOLIS – IUPUI Women's Basketball head coach Austin Parkinson has announced the signing of four players to National Letters of Intent on Wednesday (Nov. 11). The Jags welcome Logan Lewis, Nakaih Hunter, Tyra Ford and Jacquel Bronaugh to the class of 2021.

"We are really excited to welcome this class to our IUPUI program," said Parkinson. "These talented young ladies all have high character, love to compete and are ready to have an impact here at IUPUI."

Lewis comes to IUPUI from West Bloomfield, Mich., where the 5-7 guard played basketball and ran track during high school. Lewis was named All-State Honorable Mention as both a sophomore and a junior and was listed as one of the top defenders in Michigan after her junior year.

As a junior, Lewis led her team with 37 threes and on the defensive end, led her team with 65 steals and 31 blocked shots. In the classroom, Lewis was part of the National Honors Society as a junior and senior and was named to the AB Honor Roll all four years of high school.

"Logan is an incredibly versatile wing who can really shoot the basketball with range and defensively can guard the other team's best player," said Parkinson."

Hunter hails from Indianapolis and played high school basketball at North Central High School. Hunter was named All-State as a junior and was named to the Junior All-Star team. Through her junior year at North Central, Hunter has averaged 9.0 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, including 11.1 points and 7.6 rebounds during her junior year.

In the classroom, Hunter has been named to the Honor Roll every year during high school.

"Nakaih is a versatile forward who is strong around the basket and a tremendous rebounder," said Parkinson. "We like the fact that she can score in the low post and play on the outside as well."

Ford is another in-state signee from Anderson, Ind. The 5-9 guard is in her fourth year of basketball at Anderson High School. For was named The Herald Bulletin Sports Girls Basketball Athlete of the Year each of the last two seasons after scoring 22.7 points and grabbing 7.6 rebounds per game as a junior.

Ford also averaged 21.7 points as a sophomore and began her senior season just over 300 points shy of being the Anderson High School all-time leading scorer. Ford has helped Anderson to three-straight sectional titles and was named NCC Second-Team as a freshman and to the NCC First-Team as both a sophomore and junior.

"Tyra can flat out score the basketball," said Parkinson. "She plays with a high motor on both ends of the floor and impacts the game in a number of ways."

Bronaugh comes to the Jags from Dayton, Ohio, the first Jaguar to come from Ohio since senior Sydney Roule signed four years ago. Bronaugh is a 6-3 center from Wayne High School and has been named to the Honor Roll in each of her four years.

"Jacquel is a strong, physical low post player who has great hands and rebounds the ball very well," said Parkinson. "She does a really good job of sealing and scoring in the paint."
