OXFORD, Miss. – Ole Miss head women’s basketball coach Matt Insell has announced the signing of four student-athletes to his roster for the 2013-14 season. Bretta Hart, Claudia Ortiz-Ledesma, Tianah Alvarado and Shequila Joseph will all join the Rebels for the upcoming season. Hart, Joseph and Ortiz-Ledesma all signed a National Letter of Intent while Alvarado signed an SEC and Financial Aid Agreement. "The 2013 class is a great class for the Ole Miss Program,” Insell said. “We signed four very talented student-athletes that all bring unique gifts to our program on and off the court. We are beyond thrilled to have all four of them joining the Ole Miss family and are expecting great things from them over the next four years. I want to complement our staff on the hard work over the last four weeks to put this recruiting class together." Bretta Hart: As a junior, Hart played for Poplarville High School where she averaged 12.8 points, 10 rebounds and 6.7 blocks per game. She started for the Lady Hornets of Poplarville during the first three years of her high school career. Hart picked Ole Miss over TCU.

Most recently, Ortiz-Ledesma averaged 8.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game for Puerto Rico in the FIBA Americas U18 Championship for Women in 2012. "Claudia experiences internationally have prepared her to play at the highest level of college basketball,” Insell said. “Her ability to score from outside with deep range or off the dribble in traffic really excites me as a coach. I am thrilled that she decided to continue her basketball career at Ole Miss." Tianah Alvarado: As a senior, she was named Pinellas County Player of the Year and averaged 22 points per game during her team’s run through the Class 5A playoffs. Alvarado scored 39 points in the Pinellas vs. Hillsborough senior All-Star game. Alvarado original signed with Seton Hall. “I'm very excited to have Tianah joining the Rebel Nation,” Insell said. “Tianah’s athleticism and ability to score the basketball with deep range will bring immediate help to our program. Tianah's high school and club basketball career, playing at the highest level for all four years, has prepared her to be able to play immediately in the Southeastern Conference. She is a proven winner." Shequila Joseph: Joseph picked Ole Miss over NC State, Georgia Tech, Seton Hall and South Carolina. "I was ecstatic earlier this week when Shequila decided to be an Ole Miss Rebel,” Insell said. “Her size, athleticism and ability to score in a variety of ways makes a very difficult matchup for our opponents. Her experiences internationally playing against the best players in the world have prepared her to be an impact player in the Southeastern Conference."
