- Thread starter rutgers womens fan

Very hard to find any info on her. Looks like Matee scouted her for CVS in Israel where they played together. Go Matee! Also gather she probably has two years eligibility left, may be wrong. Another very small guard, meh. Also wonder is she eligible right away? Yet another thread that should be pinned up top.
Very interesting...similar to how Theresa Shank Grentz found our best ever player IMO in Sue Wicks riding past a LI,NY playground and sighted her playing with boys and dominating....I like this type of hidden gem rarely found anymore!!! Our Center Moriches wonder...
PISCATAWAY, N.J. – The Rutgers women’s basketball team has announced the additions of Rhode Island transfer Charise Wilson and Israeli native Noga Peleg Pelc to the Scarlet Knight roster. Wilson, a 5-5 guard hailing from West Babylon, New York, will be a graduate student available immediately with one year of eligibility remaining. Peleg Pelc, a 5-7 guard who hails from Even Yehuda, Israel, comes “To The Banks” as a freshman with four years of eligibility.
“Charise and Noga will be tremendous additions to our team,” said head coach C. Vivian Stringer. “Both are experienced guards with great skill sets and tremendous work ethic.”
Wilson appeared in and started 84 games during her career at Rhode Island averaging 17.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game with 1,428 career points. She also averaged 7.5 made 3-pointers a game, making at least 50 shots from beyond the arc in three consecutive seasons.
The West Babylon, New York native captained the Rams during her 2016-17 campaign pouring in 19.1 points per game, the second highest single-season average in program history, and became Rhode Island’s all-time leader in 3-pointers with 197 made during her career. She notched six made shots from beyond the arc against VCU (Jan. 18) to reset the record book while also tying the Rams’ single-game 3-point field goal record with seven made at St. Bonaventure (Dec. 28). Also during her junior season, Wilson set Rhode Island’s single-game scoring record with 38 points against Samford (Nov. 20), behind a program-record 15 made field goals in the victory. Wilson also registered her first career double-double with 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the season opener against 2016 national runner-up Syracuse.
During Wilson’s sophomore season, she was an Atlantic 10 Second Team All-Conference honoree at 17.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.1 steals per game. She set Rhode Island’s single-season 3-point field goal record dropping in 84 shots from downtown, while dishing out the ball 124 times for the sixth highest single-season assist total in Ram history.
Wilson’s freshman year in 2014-15 saw the guard named Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Year, Third Team All-Atlantic 10 and Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week six times. She logged 16.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.8 steals per game and ranked third nationally in scoring among all freshman. In her first collegiate season, she reached double digit scoring 26 times and netted 20 or more points in 10 contests. Wilson exploded for 33 points against UMass (Feb. 4), marking the largest point total by any women’s basketball player in the Atlantic 10 during the 2014-15 season.
Prior to joining the Rams, Wilson was ranked as a top 60 point guard nationally by Girls Collegiate Basketball Report coming out of St. Anthony’s High School. She led the Catholic High School Athletic Association in scoring at 17.1 points per game and was named the league’s MVP and Newsday All-Long Island First Team. Wilson also led St. Anthony’s to its first state CHSAA Class AA championship as a senior.
“Charise is a Rutgers type guard with superb skills,” said Stringer. “She is lightening quick, her ball handling skills are outstanding, she can shoot the three, as well as drive and get to the rim. In talking with everyone who has ever coached her, there’s nothing but praise and respect.”
Peleg Pelc, meanwhile, begins her first collegiate season after playing with Israel’s U16, U18 and U20 national teams with appearances in the European Championships. Most recently, she averaged 11.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists as a first team all-league player and “Most Improved” honoree, helping her women’s division I squad to the semifinals of the Israeli Cup.
“Noga is an outstanding shooter who works extremely hard, gets to the rim and is one of the most intelligent players I have met,” added Stringer. “I was amazed and fascinated by her ability to see and understand what should be happening two and three passes ahead of time. I’m really impressed with her skill set. She is a hard-nosed, hard worker and has nothing but desire to be the best she can be.”
Wilson and Peleg Pelc join Zipporah “Zippy” Broughton and Tyia “Slim” Singleton, who signed in the fall, as incoming Scarlet Knights for the upcoming 2018-19 season. Broughton, a 5-7 guard, is the Gatorade Alabama and All-US Alabama Girls Basketball Player of the Year having averaged 23.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.9 steals and 4.0 assists per game for Lee Montgomery High School. Singleton, a 6-2 forward, meanwhile, dropped in 6.9 points and 13.3 rebounds in helping her Winter Haven High School (Fla.) squad to the Geico High School Basketball Nationals.

Seton Hall posters have some pretty negative things to say about Coach Stringer. One poster mentioned that Stringer has a negative reputation on the recruiting trail and other coaches hate her (lol). I have never heard this before, has anyone here heard of Stringer recruits practices?
Josh Newman with arguably the worst reporting in sportswriting history on the Wilson flip/commitment. He writes:
Then he provides neither any details nor any interpretation! What the Hell is that?!?

"The details as to how Wilson committed to Seton Hall, signed paperwork, then flipped and did the same thing with the in-state rival is up for interpretation, but either way, there could be repercussions."

I have never heard anything that implies anything unethical. It was said by someone that there are coaches that don't like that she plays up being female, being black and being an underdog. Sounds like some Rutgers fans.
Pretty sleeze move by Stringer if this girl already committed to SHU. Don't like the way this program is going - first NIT rejection and now unethical recruiting tactics.
Unless you have firsthand knowledge of what happened with this young woman, you might not want to malign our coach. We don't know why she flipped and IMO, it says more about her decision making than it does about the RU coach who recruited her (and it probably was not CVS herself, but one of the assistants). I thought once you signed paperwork, you were bound to that program. There must be some good reason why she was allowed to change her mind without penalty. Maybe they didn't have her preferred grad school major?
As per Josh Newman's article, only freshmen signing National Letters of Intent are binding. The other scholarships , which this one would be, is non binding.
players change their minds after committing and Charise might have found out something about Seton Hall's WBB program that made it less than expected. Even before CVS talked her into committing to RU.
It might have been something the Hall promise to her when she decided to leave Rhode Island that Wilson found out was being changed and found a Coach and program more trustworthy.

That is really funny. Now stealing another school's recruits is "unethical recruiting tactics." What rock have you been living under.
All that is needed to know is the King of S
forgot to put the B in front of the S when picking a board handle. [winking]
So are the days of really competing with other National programs for Tier A+ talent now gone at Rutgers?
RU pulled in 5* "Zippy"
Alabama Gatorade Player-of-the-Year in 2018.
AL.com 1st-team Super State in 2018.
so it could be RU is starting to get back to competing for Tier A+ talent again.
