April 13, 2023 | Women's Basketball
GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina women's basketball has announced the signing of Jade Tillman to their 2023 recruiting class. Tillman will join the program for the 2023-24 season, joining the previously announced signings of Khia Miller, Karina Gordon and Jaedyn Cook.
Â
The Rockville, Md. native Tillman comes to ECU by way of Our Lady of Good Counsel in Olney, Md. where she made a name for herself as a guard/forward who causes matchup problems with the size of a big but the skill and athleticism of a guard.
Â
"We are very excited that Jade is joining our family," said head coach Kim McNeill. "Her versatility and toughness make her a perfect fit for our system. Her competitiveness is what stood out to me the first time I saw her play. Jade is a match up problem. She can take bigger players off the dribble or post smaller players up.  Pirate Nation is going to enjoy watching Jade play!"
Â
Tillman and the Pirates will enter the new season looking to build on the success of the program's first conference title and NCAA Tournament appearance since 2007.
