Jaidiah did is well known for the superior talent she displays on offense as a ball handler and three level scorer. However her willingness as a defender can not be ignored. Jaidiah has such smooth and natural ability. She has an excellent feel for the game and didi a great job defending on the ball and getting her hands out to cause turnovers. She had an unbelievable block during a game Friday where swatted the ball to the first row. She gets down the floor in transition well and she knows how to be a facilitator. A tremendous player that we look forward to watching over the next 4 years.

This class of 2028 guard is special. She is a fearless basketball player whose game is far beyond her age. Extreme natural ability with an extremely high basketball IQ. She gets after it on both ends of the floor and excels at being able to create turnovers. She is quick and decisive in her decision making which makes her a nightmare to guard in transition.
Misa’s ability to cause turnovers is absolutely unreal. She seems to be one step ahead on defense, knowing exactly where the ball is going. There were several moments where it appeared as if she was baiting her opponents into passes she knew she could take away. She is a very underrated defender who you rarely see get beat off the dribble. Just an overall highly talented basketball player whose game has become multi-faceted.
