Coach Phillips on DeVonyea Johnson: "DeVonyea is a very impressive student-athlete. She is a gifted basketball player, no question about it. She has a real passion for the game and her work ethic is as good as anyone I've seen in a long time. With her attitude and willingness to learn and develop, I know we have someone who is destined to become one of our brightest stars. Coach Steve Vinson at Huron High School does an incredible job with his players. He runs a very comprehensive program and DeVonyea comes to us well-prepared for college basketball. I love DeVonyea's competitive nature and intensity she brings to the gym. What is even more impressive and appreciated is that she a young woman of unquestionable character and values. I know she will be an awesome teammate and friend. I'm excited to see her in an Urbana uniform."
