You look at this talented lineup and wonder what the ceiling is for this group. There is so much talent and Jayda is right there in the middle of it. She is another D1 prospect as she is a 6' guard with excellent ball skills, can see the floor and is a solid distributor. Her game, like the rest of them, continues to get better and watch for big things from this multi-dimensional talent.

Normally I would not even mention a freshman on a team this talented, but this is not your normal freshman. Ott is most likely the top freshman in the Cincinnati area and I expect her to contribute with this group. She's the best player on many other teams, but on this team, it's all about fitting in, and adjusting to the talent you have around you. This young lady is special.
