What She Brings to the Program:
Jacobs has been one that we have been impressed with over the years and she eventually found her way onto the Top 100 rankings by ESPNW. Now, she announced not long ago that she would be committing to Ole Miss, giving the program an incredibly dynamic guard for the future. Watching her in action, she is off the charts in her ability to create and score the ball effectively, weaving through defenders, attacking off the bounce and finishing, but also being a three-level scorer on the court. She plays with tremendous energy, has such a smooth feel to her game, and really like how crafty she is as well as being a high IQ player. This is a terrific get for Ole Miss, as she has a chance to be a tremendous get for this program.
What Was Said by Lady Phenom:
“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 looks like a high-major guard on the court; just give her the ball and she can make things happen. She is excellent in being able to create for herself, showing tremendous craftiness, the ability to get by defenders, attack and finish over defenders, and really fill it up even when the defense is surrounding her. She has a tremendous skillset overall and IQ, showing that she can make plays and break down defenders herself and excel out in transition but also make plays for others.”
