“We’re very excited about Stephanie coming to our program,” commented head coach Larry Inman. “She brings some experience, which we need, and she might be one of the tallest players to ever play here at Tennessee State University. She’s going to give us a great inside presence. She’s a great young lady and a great asset to our program based on a lot of things but mostly her integrity as an individual and her work ethic.”
