Deja Winters had 30+ offers, including Dayton, DePaul, Marquette, Memphis, Minnesota, Oklahoma State, St. John's, Toledo, and Wake Forest.

Holy Shyt! That headline is more than "Nice." It's raining recruits in Tony Bozzella's office.

Check this list of offers, which include Notre Dame and four Big East Schools. ND is basically the second best women's program in the nation.

So Tony B just got 2 recruits in 1 day? And has 3 overall for the Class of 2016?

Not to mention we beat out like the entire BE and Notre Dame for this girl?? Awesome.

I'm so excited right now, I want to drive to Seton Hall, hose down the hallway of a dorm, take a sprint-start and dive head-first so I can hydroplane the length of the hallway.

Not that I ever did that as a student. I swear it!

Another great get by Tony and his staff. Yesterday a player from Maryland now a player from Ohio love seeing the staff recruiting footprint expand. With 4 seniors on the team and three verbals so far I assume o there's one ship left to give , which has to be a player with size.

ProspectNation.com lists Winters as a 4-Star, Top 100 recruit.

Right now she's 96th overall, and 24th at the wing position. It's significant to point out that only the top nine players are listed as 5-Stars. (They do also rate with half-stars.)

Isn't she a guard? Perhaps she's be rated even higher if she was ranked with the guards.

There are still many uncommitted Top 100 players.

Amazing what you can do at SHU when you offer no excuses on the difficulties you face at a small Catholic school and work as hard or maybe harder than your competition.

What a gem we have in Tony Bozzella!

Also, props to his first recruiting assistant Lauren DeFalco.

Willard said he would have signed some top 2016 recruits if it has not been so hot and humid this Summer. He also said that if he had Tony's office on the first floor, his signing percentage for recruits would be much better. Those young kids hate walking up the stairs to get to Willard's office. LOL LOL.

Way to go Tony.

Here's an article with quotes from Winters and her father/coach:

Note the quote about winning. "It helps that they're a winning program already," said the father.

He also called his daughter a potential "program changer."

Top recruit. A Terry Dehere type.
From a good family- loved her Dad on the video- "don't give in to tired, on the court or in the class room".

Tony is building a national program to be reckoned with.

Props to Lauren DeFalco- who doesn't give in to tired.
