Botham on Tucker: "Sami is an exceptional athlete and is incredibly, incredibly tough. She can guard all five positions on the floor and possesses solid perimeter and post skills on the offensive end. She doesn't know the meaning of the word `quit' and is a leader both vocally and by example. I like that she comes from one of the best high school programs in the state at East Lansing. I am thrilled for the opportunity to coach her and am certain her versatility will pay dividends for us immediately."
