Ags sign JUCO AA

Texas A&M head coach Gary Blair announced the signing of Tanisha Smith, a six-foot junior college All-American, today.

Smith led the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith to a third-place finish at the NJCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship this past season. She averaged 18.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game while also leading the Lady Lions with 104 steals and 71 three-pointers in 36 games played.

Smith spent one season at the University of Arkansas prior to transferring to UA-Fort Smith.

A former Missouri academic student-athlete of the year in 2006, Smith plans to major in kinesiology with an emphasis in sport management at Texas A&M. She will join incoming freshmen Sydney Carter (DeSoto, Texas), Skylar Collins (Cedar Hill, Texas), Adaora Elonu (Houston, Texas) and Kelsey Assarian (Naples, Fla.) this coming fall. Smith chose A&M over Cincinnati, Georgia and Kentucky.

Smith will be a junior in the fall and play for the Aggies in 2008 - 2009.
