COACH MOORE'S TAKE:
"Jada is a strong forward who is a relentless rebounder on both ends of the floor. She is strong inside and can also step out and shoot the three. She's going to create matchup problems for people out there, and we feel like she will be able to be a double-double type player, much like (former NC State 1,000-point scorer) Chelsea Nelson. Having played a major role for a strong Boo Williams program, she too is used to success."
