Four players signed letters of intent to play for the Ball State University women's basketball team Wednesday.
Jade Barber is a 6-foot-2-inch forward from Louisville, Ky. She averaged 12 points and 10.3 rebounds per game as a junior. She is rated as the fifth-best prospect in Kentucky by the Rick Bolus Report.
Amber Clark is a 6-foot-3-inch center from Huntington North High School in Huntington. She averaged 11.7 rebounds per game as a junior, eighth-best in the state, and 18 points per game.
Suzanne Grossnickle is a 6-foot-2-inch forward from Belleville, Ill. She transferred to Belleville East this summer after spending the previous three seasons at Marian Catholic in Chicago. She averaged 12.4 points and eight rebounds per game as a junior.
Patrice King is a 5-foot-6-inch point guard from St. Louis. She was a teammate of Grossnickle the last three years and also transferred this summer. She averaged 6.8 points per game.
"I truly believe that this class has the potential to be the best class we have ever signed," coach Tracy Roller said in a press release. "As a whole, they have all of the characteristics of great college student-athletes - smart, big, athletic, quick, hardworking, team-oriented and most importantly, winners. Our staff worked very hard to secure this exceptional class, competing against rival schools. I look forward to coaching them all and the immediate impact they can make in our program."
