PEORIA, Ill. -- Fourth-year Bradley Women's Basketball head coach Andrea Gorski had four additions to the 2020-21 roster during the Fall Signing Period with 5-11 forward Tete Danso (Inver Grove Heights, Minn./Simley), 6-1 forward Isis Fitch (Homewood, Ill./Homewood-Flossmoor), 6-1 forward Sami Martin (Platteville, Wis./Platteville) and 5-5 guard Daija Tyson (Detroit, Mich./Edison Academy) each signing National Letters of Intent to attend Bradley.
"The entire Bradley women's basketball family is excited to welcome these four young women into our family," said Gorski. "Besides bringing a high skill set, our 2020 class fits in perfectly with the outstanding culture this year's team has worked so hard to achieve. Their love of the game and dedication to winning will impact our program immediately. It's a great day to be a Bradley Brave."
Danso was MVP for the Spartans as a junior with the two-time all-state selection averaging 12 points and 12 rebounds per game in 2018-19. She has earned all-conference honors each of the past two seasons and also averaged three assists, three steals and two blocks per outing as a junior to help the Spartans to a conference title along with reaching the sectional semifinals. A two-sport athlete at Simley High School, Danso also lettered in volleyball and was named her team's most improved player last year.
A three-year letterwinner at Andrew High School in Tinley Park, Fitch transferred to Homewood-Flossmoor High School for her senior year. She enters her senior season 108 points from reaching 1,000 career points and set the single-season rebounding record at Andrew as a junior after averaging 15 points and 10 rebounds per game in 2018-19. A two-time all-conference honoree, Fitch took home all-area honors last year in addition to being selected as team MVP.
Fitch collected 12 points and 10 rebounds per game as a sophomore. She also lettered in volleyball at Andrew, earning the team's defensive player of the year award as a junior. Her father Steven was a two-year member of the men's basketball team at Illinois State.
Martin has been a part of three consecutive regional championship teams, averaging 16.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.5 assists per game last year to take home first-team all-state honors. The 2018-19 Southwest Wisconsin Conference Player of the Year, Martin helped the Hillmen to a 20-5 mark and conference title as a junior.
A three-time all-conference and all-area pick, Martin enters her senior season with 1,118 career points and needs 264 points to become Platteville's all-time leading scorer. She was an honorable mention all-state performer as a sophomore, averaging 15.7 points and 10 rebounds per outing. Martin has helped lead Platteville to a 61-15 record during her prep career. She also lettered in softball, taking home first-team all-conference honors each of the past two years.
Tyson will bring Bradley's total of players from the state of Michigan in 2020-21 to four. A team captain, she has helped Edison to state championships each of the past three years. Tyson also lettered in track at Edison Academy.
Bradley plays its home opener Saturday, hosting Eureka in a 1 p.m. contest at Renaissance Coliseum.
