NEWARK, Del. – Delaware women's basketball head coach Natasha Adair excitedly announced Friday that Tara Cousins and Tyi Skinner have signed National Letters of Intent to play for the Blue Hens beginning in 2020-21.
"We're excited to welcome both Tara and Tyi into the Blue Hens family," exclaimed Adair. "There aren't enough attributes to discuss the positives that both will bring with them. Kudos to our current players for building the current culture of our program and I know that Tara and Tyi will really complement what we're doing. I cannot wait to see them in blue and gold, and just to see their impact felt as soon as they get here."
Cousins, a 5-8 guard from Washington, D.C., averaged 22.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game as a junior last season at Woodrow Wilson High School. The 2019 DCIAA Player of the Year, Cousins transferred to New Hope Academy for her senior campaign. NHA is ranked as the top girl's high school program in the country by USA Today and also produced current Delaware freshman Agnes Paul.
A 5-5 guard from Washington, D.C., Skinner transferred to TPLS Christian Academy midway through her junior season where she averaged 25 points per game, 8.0 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 steals per game.
