DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Bethune-Cookman University Head Women's Basketball Coach Vanessa Blair-Lewis officially announced today [November 20, 2020] the signing of four Student-Athletes to National Letters of Intent (NLI).

Tynasia Bunting, Kayla Clark, Sade Harrell and Kayla White will join the Lady Wildcats as they make their Southwestern Athletic Conference debut in 2021-22.
"I am very excited about this Wildcat class," Blair-Lewis said. "These young women are outstanding human beings and  great players who are poised to continue the winning legacy of our program." 
 
Tynasia Bunting 6-1 Guard, Norfolk, Va. (Georgia Highland College)
Scouting Report: She averaged a team-high 17.4 points and 7.9 rebounds – second best on the squad --per game for Georgia Highland in 2019-20. Her sophomore season included a 34-point outburst at Southern Crescent Tech and a 22 point average in conference tournament play, garnering her a berth on the all-tournament team. She also played at Eastern Florida State College. In high school, she was an All-PenSouth Conference selection at Warwick HS.

Coach Blair-Lewis: "Tynasia is a versatile guard who is a 3 level scorer. She can get to the rim, hit the 3ptr and score from mid-range. Her height and length will make her a very formidable defensive player. Tynasia's passion for the game is contagious. She will be exciting to watch.

Kayla Clark 6-1 Forward, Miami, Fla. (Central HS)
Scouting Report: Averaged 14.2 points and 9.8 rebounds her junior season at Central. She shot 48 percent from the field and is considered among the best post players in Dade County.

Coach Blair-Lewis: "Kayla is a very athletic post player. She is an aggressive rebounder and finishes well on the block. She runs the floor and is a hardworking and tough defender. She hasn't touched the surface of her potential yet and is already a force to be reckoned with."

Sade Harrell 5-11 Forward, Conyers, Ga (Heritage HS)
Scouting Report: A two-time area Player of the Year, Harrell averaged 15 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game last season for the Patriots.

Coach Blair-Lewis: "Sade's versatility will be a welcomed addition to next year's squad. She is able to play multiple positions. She can stretch the floor with her ability to shoot the 3-pointer and attack the rim as her athleticism will allow her to post up and finish in the paint. Sade will work well in our defensive system as her size and quickness will allow her to defend guards and post players."
 
Kayla White – 5-8 Guard, Cleveland, Ohio (Brush HS)
Scouting Report: Voted Second Team All-Area and one of the city's top 50 players by Cleveland.com, White averaged 14.5 points per game her junior year and set the school's single-season steals record.

Coach Blair-Lewis: "Kayla is an up tempo and quick guard who will fit extremely well in our transition style of play. She attacks the rim and hits the mid-range shot with consistency. She has great vision, ball handling and passing skills. Kayla's on ball defense is tenacious. She will provide a solid line of defense."

Bethune-Cookman posted a 23-6 campaign in 2019-20 that saw the Lady Wildcats take the Mid-Eastern Athletic regular season championship for the fourth time in five years. The program made its first-ever NCAA tournament appearance in 2019.
