At 4:30 this afternoon the call came that the staff has been holding their breath on for two weeks, since she took her official visit to SJU. 6 1 WING Jade Walker of Depaul Catholic in Maplewood NJ called Coach Tartamella to tell him she would be a Johnnie in 2013.
Jade is the number 11 ranked player at her position and number 63 overall in the class of 2013.
More importantly, she was the player the staff identified and targeted to fill Shenneika Smith's big shoes next season.
From a historical standpoint this is uncharted waters for SJU as it is three years running we have gotten commitments in each class from 2 ladies ranked in the ESPN top 100. Just unbelievable. And we have 1 already in the class of 2014 in Tamesha Alexander.
Just a great job by our completely new staff.
Lets go ladies.
