2025 Lauren Jacobs was one of the biggest standouts at the Phenom Lady Rumble weeks ago, as we had high praise for what we saw from her on the court. She was named one of the top players from the event, as we had this to say:
“This was my first time watching Jacobs, but I’m a huge fan of her game after what I saw this weekend, and think she is going to be a bigger name in South Carolina. Helping her team to a state title, she was locked in and really showcased her overall game and impact. When talking about her game, she quickly grabs your attention with her playmaking ability; she did a great job in creating for herself, penetrating and making plays in the paint, and really showed how crafty she is with the ball in her hands. But she also did a great job in other areas such as playmaking for others, playing scrappy defense, and simply filling up the stat sheet. Start learning her name if you haven’t, as she really impressed me in a big way this weekend.”
Jacobs has only continued to play extremely well and college coaches have been noticing, as she landed yet another offer. Lady Phenom spoke with her about the latest, her newest offer, and who else has been coming her way.
