And so the post Tianna Tarter era begins...

Noticed on Twitter that Ezell & Co. gained a commitment from Kacie Fountain, a 5'8" G out of Southwest Mississippi Community College. She averaged 5.5 ppg, 4 rpg, and 6 apg with one of the best A/TO ratios in the country.

In the early signing period, Ezell picked up another promising crew of freshman. On paper, this signing class looks to be another stellar one.

Alayjah Sherer announced her plans to transfer to NW Florida State. I am surprised by this - saw a promising trajectory for her career at ETSU.

Apparently she didn't like the fact that Micah Scheetz was going to get playing time along with her.
I wish her well!

Ezell adds 5th yr. transfer, 6'2 Lexus Spears: http://www.etsubucs.com/wbasketball/news...us-spears/

It certainly sounds like 6'2" Lexie Spears might be a difference maker for us: a dominating force in the paint with 14.1 points a game last year at Morgan State on .540 FG%, 7.6 rebounds, 20 blocks, 36 steals. We have had some good rebounders the last couple years who have had difficulty scoring. That does not appear to be a problem for Spears.

She is a big woman and makes an interesting statement with a tattoo on her entire massive upper right arm of an elephant holding flowers. She is a big person, and she's going to own it. http://www.etsubucs.com/wbasketball/news...us-spears/


The last couple of years Coach Ezell has taken a much more aggressive approach to recruiting. She's going for quality, and then more quality. Kind of like another coach we know. She's not going to let Haynes-Overton spend a career without championships.
