Watched the youtube video. I was impressed with her ball handling skills, then I read the note!!!~ She was a freshman in the video!. Can't imagine how she looks today. Has to be a great get.

Great addition to the Women's team....

She is the first recruit from Ricardo Marsh's training group to come to ODU. He has two men in his program I hope comes here. Both are like 2022 recruits or thereabouts.

Welcome to the program. Looks like a very good signing.

I couldn't find much about her. I saw she also had an offer from Houston.

She’s a 5’10 guard/small forward from DeSoto, Texas (no idea where that is). If you want to see some of her play, google Hudl.com and search her name. In the few clips I saw, she appears to be a very tough defensive player, comfortable inside and outside on the defensive end. Didn’t she much outside shooting, so don’t know if she’s got any range. Overall, she looks like a good fit for Coach Nikki’s program. Welcome aboard Ash’a.

Returning to the “A”s

The site I saw, which is ballngirlsprep.com has her listed at 6’0”, but everything else about her which you have written meshes pretty well with what is there.

We've got ourselves another recruit, Lanay Wheaton.

Looks like a really quick PG.

Second recent player from Texas. Obviously Nikki has connections there.

Welcome Ms Wheaton.

Welcome aboard Ms Wheaton. I think Coach Nikki is determined not to run out of point/shooting guards. Looks like a great recruiting class for 2020. I do wish that ODU would bring in the best from Hampton Roads. Hate to see our elites fly off to Georgetown, Cincinnati, North Carolina and other big schools. Maybe those players will want to come when ODU is competing for conference championships and NCAA seedlings.

Ahhhhh, the good ole days. If we can keep Coach Nikki around, I think they may return. She seems capable of getting the Lady Monarchs back to the top 25 in due time.

But it seems their first name has to start with A.

Did we just sign a player? 6-3 Center from NC? I saw a post on Instagram, but it might be old

It’s probably Skylah Travis, a 6-3 center from Weldon, NC who just signed her NLI a few days ago.
