Jerkaila Jordan unanimously chosen as Conf. Freshman of the Year

Post by waverider »

Tulane freshman guard JerKaila Jordan secured just the second unanimous conference Freshman of the Year citation in league history...
Jordan joined USF’s Laksa in 2016 as the only unanimous American Freshman of the Year selections. In 23 starts during the regular season, Jordan averaged 49.7 percent shooting from the floor to rank second, 16.8 points per contest to rank third, 71.9 percent from the free-throw line to rank fifth and 2.1 steals per game to rank sixth in The American among all players. She was named American Freshman of the Week a record seven times during the season, was The American Player of the Week on Dec. 14 and was also included on the league’s weekly honor roll on Feb. 8 and March 5.
The American’s all-conference teams were highlighted by the lone unanimous choice in Cincinnati’s Thomas and Tulane’s Jordan, the first freshman ever named to The American’s top squad.

Tulane’s Jordan, the first freshman ever named to The American’s top squad.
Pretty amazing considering the conference surely had numerous 5-star HS All-American freshmen at UConn over the years. I guess they all were too busy fighting for playing time and points among the sophomore, junior, and senior All-Americans... 8)

Hopefully her presence helps us bring in some highly-rated Fs and Cs in the next year or two and we can really build something with Jordan as the impetus.
