Red Oak HC Darren Eubanks on Davis…

“Bre has been special from day one. She entered Red Oak as a freshman only to lead our team in scoring. This young lady came with a work ethic that is unmatched and a dedication to her craft that will allow her to have great success at the next level. Not only is she a great basketball player, but she is also an incredible kid, very humble and mature. She is always trying to make the right decision. North Texas you have signed a winner, and one of the all-time leading scorers in school history and I’m proud I was able to witness it.”

UNT HC Jaile Mitchell on Davis…

“There is a lot of UNT history with the Davis family. The best part is that we get to add to it! Bre will come to Denton with incredible maturity and leadership abilities, exceptional work ethic in the classroom, and a dedication to her craft that is unmatched. She lives in the gym and truly loves the game. It is extremely fulfilling for this story to come full circle. Bre had plenty of options to choose from to continue her basketball career. We are grateful that she saw her success within the vision of our school and program. The best is still yet to come!”

Ereauna Hardaway | 5-6 | Jonesboro HS (Arkansas)

- Averaged 14 PPG, 6 APG, and 3.5 RPG in high school

- Class 5A state MVP

Jonesboro HC Jodi Christenberry on Hardaway…

“Ereauna is, arguably, the best point guard who has come out of Jonesboro, and one of the best that I have ever coached. Her ability to read situations, people and know when and how to get things done on the court is one of her best assets. She can get 25 points and four assists one night and turn around the next and get eight points and 12 assists. She doesn't care about her own stats. She will do whatever is necessary to win. She has put us on her shoulders numerous times throughout her career and led us to victory. I believe, at the next level, that she will quickly adjust to the increased speed and quickness of the game and will show why she is one of the best point guards in the class of 2022.”

UNT HC Jaile Mitchell on Hardaway…

“Ereauna, also known as “E”, is a complete gem! We are so glad we were able to get her out of Arkansas. She is an exceptional person, leader and point guard that everyone loves to play with. Our fans will enjoy all the different ways she’s able to score, facilitate and manage a game from start to finish. She also understands the importance of defense, bringing her A game to both ends of the floor. Ereauna is a selfless winner and recent state champion. We welcome her to the great state of Texas!”

Jahcelyn Hartfield | 5-9 | South Grand Prairie (Texas)

- No. 29 in the state of Texas per Premier Basketball in the class of 2022

- 5A TAPPS State Champion

South Grand Prairie HC Brion Raven on Hartfield…

“Jahcelyn has been an integral part of our program for three years. She has overcome so many obstacles and continues to do amazing things. On the court, she has been a versatile player that can lead us in scoring one game and lead us in assists the next game, all while being expected to guard the opponent’s best player. As much talent and skill as she brings on the court, she brings even more off the court – she is a strong young woman of faith, a leader, and brings intangibles that are hard to measure. She is the type of player and person that any program would love to have and I’m so proud that she will be continuing her education at the University of North Texas – you got a great one!”

UNT HC Jaile Mitchell on Hartfield…

“Jahcelyn is one of the toughest young women I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know. You can count on her to give her all mentally and physically every day. She has a unique story of triumph that gives her a competitive edge. She’s the do-it-all player that can take on any assignment you give her, from defense to rebounding and everything in between. We’re proud of Jahcelyn already and anticipate great things to come in her collegiate career!”

Desiree Wooten | 5-9 | Mansfield Timberview (Texas)

- No. 9 in the state of Texas per Premier Basketball in the class of 2022

- MVP of District 5-5A

- MVP of the Region I-5A tournament

- Top Dallas-Fort Worth guard

Mansfield Timberview HC Kit Kyle-Martin on Wooten…

“She is an exceptional talent who has the rare ability to elevate the players around her. She is one of the best to ever wear a Timberview jersey as a combo guard with innate abilities to score off the bounce and to see the floor. She can make the next level passes from anywhere. We are excited to watch her play for the Mean Green next season!”

UNT HC Jaile Mitchell on Wooten…

“Dez” is a 3-level scorer, competitor and high-level talent. She does a little bit of everything on the court, making her a tough guard for any defender. She takes the game very seriously and will always do whatever it takes to win. Her God-given gifts make her a threat to break just about every record we have. Desiree also has a fun-loving personality and brings great energy to any room. We are excited about her choice and future here at UNT!”
