FAMU women's basketball goes JUCO to acquire height

TALLAHASSEE, Florida - On paper, the Florida A&M women's basketball team shouldn't be lacking height or experience next season.

Coach LeDawn Gibson made sure of that, bringing in two big junior college players among the five signees whose names were released this week. Ariel Thomas, a 6-foot-2 forward, and 6-3 Tanikqua McFarlane, who played forward/center at ASA Community College, will continue their college careers along with Avenger teammate Ashley Watson at FAMU. Watson is a 5-5 point guard.

Junior college transfer Monesiea Prothro and Shiniece Beamon, a 6-2 center from Lakewood High School, also signed to play for the Rattlers.
