Hampton University has signed guard Chikilra Goodman to a National Letter of Intent to play for the Lady Pirates next season.The top high school girls scorer in the nation is coming to Hampton University, where she'll follow in her mother's footsteps. Chikilra Goodman, a 5-foot-9 guard who averaged 36.6 points per game for Bodine High in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania has signed a national letter of intent to play for the Pirates next season.
Lady Pirates coach David Six, who led HU to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship last year in his first season at the helm, was tipped off to Goodman by an HU alumn who emailed him an impressive YouTube video highlight package. Upon further investigation, Six discovered that Chikilra's mother, Tondalaya, is Hampton's all-time leading rebounder with 1,608, and is tied for 10th in all-time points with 1,253. "I think her mom was pulling for her (to choose Hampton), but her mom made it clear that it was her decision," Six said. Six has signed three other recruits, including 6-foot-3, 250-pound center Sherena Abercrumbia out of Lon Morris College in Texas.
