COACH MOORE'S TAKE:
"Dontavia's great athleticism and strength has me excited to see just how far her game can go. A prestigious Ms. Basketball winner in Tennessee, she has the skill set to get to the rim and knock down the three. A potential defensive stopper and prolific rebounder, Dontavia is going to be a great asset on both ends of the court here at NC State."
