‘Chit-Chat’ Signs With Hawkeyes

By JOHN BOHNENKAMP

Jan Jensen has been pursuing guards in the NCAA transfer portal since the end of the season.

The Iowa women’s basketball coach found one in a player nicknamed “Chit-Chat.”

Chazadi Wright, who played one season at Georgia Tech, signed with the Hawkeyes on Thursday, a day after she committed to the program.

Wright will have three seasons of eligibility remaining.

Wright, an Atlanta, Georgia, native, played in all 33 games with 12 starts as a freshman, averaging 7.2 points and 2.2 rebounds. She scored in double figures 10 times, including a season-high 16 points against Pitt. She had a season-high seven assists against Rice.

Wright, who played under new Iowa assistant LaSondra Barrett with the Yellow Jackets, was a four-star recruit according to ESPN HoopGurlz and was a two-time all-state selection by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“We are thrilled with the addition of Chit-Chat to our team,” said Jensen in a statement. “She is a skilled and explosive guard that is relentless on both ends of the floor. She is a great fit in every way, and I can’t wait for our fans to watch her play.”
