May 25, 2016 | Women's Basketball
White averaged 24.4 points per game as a senior at Tupelo High School. She pulled down 7.8 rebounds per game and averaged 2.7 blocks per contest. White dished out 5.6 assists per game while shooting 71 percent from the free-throw line.
White was selected as a Parade All-American and was chosen to play in the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star Game which is scheduled to be played June 9 in Florence, Ala., at the University of North Alabama.
"Tan has the potential to be a great player in the SEC," said Fanning. "She understands the game and has excellent court awareness. We are recruiting Tan as a two-guard. She has a tremendous knack for the game, which should make her an impact player as a freshman."
Jones, a 5-foot-7 product of Northeast Jones High School in Laurel, Miss., averaged 18 points per game and dished out six assists as a sophomore at Bishop State. Besides being named player of the year, she garnered first-team all-Regional Alabama Junior College honors for the second time. She was also named first-team all-State for the second consecutive season.
"Renea is a quick and aggressive athlete," said Fanning. "She is an enthusiastic point guard who understands the game. She is a winner and a competitor who will make a difference in the Lady Bulldog basketball program."
