Destiny Pitts, a 5’-10” Detroit, Mich. native, says Minneapolis reminds her a lot of the Motor City. “This campus reminds me a lot like home. At other schools I visited there was nothing else to it. I knew I would have opportunities [in the Twin Cities] after school. The opportunities within the city, the Fortune 500 companies, for example — that’s big.”
Also leading her to sign with the Gophers last fall was the absence of overwhelming egos in the coaches and players she found here, unlike those she found on other recruiting visits, the guard-forward added. Nor did it hurt that U of M Associate Head Coach Nikita Lowry Dawkins also hails from Detroit.
“That helps a lot,” giggled Pitts before returning to a serious interviewing tone. “What I like most about the area is that I can go to the campus, interact, and do things with more [campus] clubs and organizations.
