....Trove: Let’s start off with the transfers since there are more of them to get through. The first ones I had were Makennah White and I’yanna Lops, who followed Cassandra and DiDi, respectively.
Bozzella: Cassandra obviously had a large impact on bringing Makennah in and I love Makennah, she has a ton of energy. She's great in that she has two years of eligibility for Seton Hall. She plays with a lot of passion, a lot of fire. She’s physical, she’ll bring a little more physical presence than we've had in the past. She’s has a great 15-foot touch around the basket.
With I’yanna, we call her YaYa, she is certainly one of the most improved players this summer. Yaya really struggled her first few days. The first couple of days I really worried. If I didn't have DiDi on staff and DiDi swearing that she would be good I would have thought, ‘Wow, I don't know if this is going to work.’ But to the kid’s credit, she has worked her rear end off. She's a tremendous listener. She wants to get better. She wants to continue to do the things that she needs to do to be an impact player here. YaYa is experienced and she has taken the opportunity she's had to play this summer to be a really good player for us when the season begins. I'm so excited how hard she's worked; how coachable she is. She’s definitely the winner of our most improved player this summer. There was not a close second.
