How good is she?

How good is she?

Her junior year she averaged 31 points, 10.4 rebounds, 7 assists and 3.7 steals a game. Her senior year she averaged 29.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.9 steals a game. She is the two time Gatorade Player of the Year for SD. She is the all time leading scorer in SD high school history. She has a 3.97 GPA. She was offered a scholarship from at least one team in every BCS conference in the country, except the ACC.

So you ask "How good is she", well she is good enough for me!!

[Mr. Burgundy]

"How good is she?" ......she could start for the men.

If she was that good why did she go to Creighton?

[NorCalJack]

If she was that good why did she go to Creighton?

I think only Jill could answer that question, but from what I have read is it was for religious reasons. She attended Mitchell Christian and she is Presbyterian. Creighton is a Catholic school. I think that was the lure for her and it was close to home.

Another reason may be that the former all time scoring leader in SD high school history also attended Creighton and is in the Creighton Hall of Fame. There may have been some pressure to follow in her footsteps.
