"I am extremely excited about this recruiting class because it covers every need in our program. We wanted to get better in three areas, perimeter shooting, overall athleticism, and rebounding. These 6 young ladies give us proven shooters, size, and great length/athleticism that will help keep us toward the top of the MEC defensively and improve our offense." Head coach, Adam Collins. 
 

	Janesha Johnson 5-8 Guard Oxford, MS (Northwest Mississippi Junior College) "Janesha is a tremendous shooter both from the three point line and the free throw line. Over her two years at Northwest Mississippi, Janesha played in 42 games and averaged 13.5 PPG and 4.5 RPG while making 93 threes at 35% and 94 free throws at 85%.
	Ambrea Williams 6-0 Forward Woodbine, GA (East Georgia State College)  "Ambrea is a good athlete with great size and strength.  She is a very active rebounder with 2 years of game experience under her belt.  Ambrea runs the floor very well and will help us become more of a transition team.
	Dionna Sanders  6-1 Forward Bourbonnais, IL (Wabash Valley College)  "Dionna is a very long athletic player that runs the floor well and will help us tremendously with rim protection.  Dionna has the ability to defend inside and on the perimeter.  Dionna is used to winning, as her Junior College team was ranked top 5 Nationally each of the last two years."
	Brooklyn Pannell  5-9 Guard Columbus, OH (Reynoldsburg, High School)  "Brooklyn is a tremendous athlete and shooter.  She will make an impact instantly both on the defensive end and shooting the ball from the perimeter.  Brooklyn comes from one of the most highly regarded programs in Ohio and has played in many big games. As a Senior, Brooklyn was named to the Ohio Division 1 All Central District Team"
	Jordin Spears  5-9 Guard Pataskala, OH (Licking Heights High School)  "Jordin is a great athlete and versatile player.  She can play all 3 perimeter positions as well as defend them.  Jordin's length and speed will add to the overall theme of our team on both ends of the floor. Jordin was named to the Ohio Division 1 All Central District Team"
	Chloe Cheresne  6-1 Forward Salem, OH (Salem, High School)  Chloe is a versatile forward that can play inside and out.  She is a tremendous shot blocker who will help with rim protection and can also score in a variety of ways.  Chole's mobility for a 4/5 player will be a great fit for our program on both ends. Chloe was named to the Ohio Division II Northeast Inland All District Team as a Senior."
