Booth has emerged as an exciting backcourt prospect in Connecticut’s class of 2028, bringing explosiveness, athleticism, and defensive versatility to Suffield Academy. Her ability to attack the basket and finish creatively makes her a challenging matchup for opposing perimeter defenders. She uses her quick first step to create separation and can put pressure on defenses when she finds opportunities to get downhill. One of the most intriguing aspects of Booth’s game is her athleticism, which allows her to create scoring opportunities around the rim despite competing against bigger opponents. Defensively, she has demonstrated the ability to take on difficult guard assignments, using her quickness and activity to challenge opposing ball handlers. With changes to Suffield Academy’s backcourt entering the new season, Booth could have an opportunity to expand her offensive responsibilities. As she enters her junior year season, Booth has the tools to become an increasingly important part of Suffield Academy’s success.

Jalisa “Juju” Booth (2028) | Guard/Wing | Suffield

What a great 1-2 punch the twins Jazlynn and Juju are. This year they’ve been on a tear, matching up with the toughest talent around while finding success. They’ve both played a major role for Suffield this season and remain lethal tandem threats for the opponents.

Juju has seemingly found her stride as a 2-way challenger that makes timely plays on both sides of the ball. For a perimeter player, she’s quite the rebounder. Booth has a strong frame plus has ample athleticism to fight through boxouts. She’ll also come flying in from the weakside to snatch bouncing balls, deflating the opponents’ moral. Even though she’s been contributing steadily on the offensive side of the ball, what’s been impressive is her suffocating defense. Booth has really made a name for herself as an aggressive agitator that provokes mishaps in the offense. Lockdown defender is a badge she should certainly have. Her defense contributes to easy points and speeds up the game for her team in transition. Theres not many players that get the better of Booth either. This alone makes her a captivating player.
