MADISON, N.J. — In the summer of 2012, FDU-Florham head coach Marc Mitchell went to an AAU basketball game somewhere in New Jersey to watch a point guard he was recruiting, Alyssa McDonough.  While he was watching McDonough, he noticed a forward named Shalette Brown. Mitchell asked Brown if she had plans for college, hoping she was a rising senior in high school, like McDonough.

Brown was a year ahead of McDonough in school and she was playing in her last AAU tournament. She told Mitchell that she had already committed to Montclair State. She had offers from some Division I and II schools, but picked Karin Harvey’s program. Brown explains, “They were the most consistent with calling, emailing and everything” during the recruiting process.
