Grambling State Women’s Basketball Adds Four During Signing Period


GRAMBLING, Louisiana | Grambling State University head women's basketball coach Freddie Murray announced the signings of four players – Jemiah Harrison, Alexus Holt, Thaniya Marks – who will join the Lady Tiger program for the 2019-20 season.

Harrison, a 6-foot-2 post player, is sitting out the 2018-19 season and will come in as a fifth-year senior next season. She played at Volunteer State Community College and averaged 16.3 points and 10.5 rebounds.

Murray Comments
"Jemiah is an aggressive post that can play inside and out. She has tremendous length in the low-post and her wing-span gives her excellent shot blocking presence. She's very mobile and has good hands."

Holt, a 5-8 combo guard from Copiah-Lincoln Community College and Epps High School (Epps, La.), averaged 15.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game.

Murray Comments
"Alexus is very talented and can play multiple guards positions. She has a very high basketball IQ and works hard on both ends of the floor. She has a nice mid-range game and can really stretch the floor."

Marks, is a 6-1 forward/center from Wenonah High School (Birmingham, Ala.) who also plays AAU for the All-Alabama Elite team. So far this season, she is averaging 16.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.

Murray Comments
"Thaniya, is a very physical, aggressive player that competes on both ends of the floor. She has great hands and will score around the basket and from the high post. She's another high character kid that's going to be really good for us. We have high expectations for each of these ladies."

Washington is a 5-10 guard from Pensacola State Community College and Ouachita Parish High School (Monroe, La.). This year she is averaging 12.6 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.

Murray Comments
"Washington is a true competitor and a versatile guard that can score and shoot with the best of them. She is very aggressive off the dribble and shoots well from the free-throw line at over 84 percent. We look forward to her bringing her winning mentality and offensive game to our program."
