[falconfan1]

OhioVarsity.com confirms earlier rumors concerning North Royalton's Jessie Tamerlano. The 5'11" 2G/wing has commited to Bowling Green. North Royalton is a successful program in NE Ohio. Jessie averaged 18 points a game there last year and has been described as a very competitive player. She was sought by many teams in the MAC.

With Steffen and Papenfuss, we have quite a trio of players coming in.

Go Falcons!

"The nucleus of Neale’s Team Bring It is comprised of talent from across Northern Ohio. North Royalton senior Jessie Tamerlano, Strongsville High School standout Brittany Ready, Taylor Ruper of Trinity and Uniontown Lake’s Lauren Myers anchor the guard positions. During the last high school season, Myers averaged 14.6 points and 2.9 assists-per-game.



An addition to the squad has allowed Team Bring It the opportunity to do just that. Not only are they threats on the perimeter, but the guards have a post player to distribute the ball to when their shots are not falling.



“We picked up a girl named Allison Papenfuss. She’s from Anthony Wayne High School over by Toledo,” Neale said. “She’s a very, very pleasant addition. She committed also to Bowling Green along with Jessie. They’re actually going to be roommates. She’s stepped up and played very, very well.



“[She] could’ve played at the major college level, but wants to stay close to home and doesn’t want to go too far away,” he added. “Bowling Green will be a great fit. She’s a major-college player. She can go up and grab the rim, a very athletic kid and has been a solid foundation for us.”

Nice to know that Neale doesn't see BG as a "major college"! I believe he's the former Strongsville HS star who went to an Ivy League school (perhaps Colgate?)

If I'm not mistaken, Tamerlano's sister, Jackie, is on our soccer team and will be a sophomore this fall.
