Gesner has been dominating in ways that’re certainly going to position her up the board in the upcoming ranks. Jocelyn’s strong fundamentals, power and mobility are the backbone of her success, but it’s her cerebral play that’s been making her stand out when watching. She should get a bit more credit for how she’s able to create in tough spots plus the commanding 2-way influence in the paint. Jocelyn has been a treat to watch lately.

Gesner used every inch of her 6’3 frame to affect the game on both ends for WV Thunder while showing excellent footwork and the ability to move quickly at that size. Gesner was an active rebounder and pursued missed shots rather than waiting on the ball to come to here and relying on her size. She showed excellent ball skills and soft hands on offense around the basket and also stepped out to the perimeter and knocked down a big three between the wing and top of the key in what was a very tightly contested game. There is a reason she holds multiple Division One offers, including from schools like Colgate and Cornell. She is a very good player already, but is far from the finished product.

Gesner possesses intangibles that many other forwards don’t have and she carries a large impact on winning. The consistency is there with Jocelyn too. This is someone who’s going to pick up a ton of interest soon.

Jocelyn is playing for the WV Thunder S40 team this AAU season and competed in the IE Showcase last weekend, with the Spooky Nook tournament up next. At 6’3”, she’s a tough matchup, able to shoot over defenders from three or finish over the top at the rim. Her length also stands out defensively, where she uses her reach to swat away shots and protect the paint.

Gesner is an all-purpose forward that executes at a high level. No matter if it was setting a screen, diving to the basket, sealing or crashing the glass, Jocelyn took no plays off. She’s just so useful, no matter the role.

Jocelyn has an experienced game with a solid foundation that finds her success. She’s fundamentally sound plus brings a level of physicality that can catch the opposition by surprise if unprepared. Gesner has shown she can reliably hit the free-throw extended shot, work unusual angles and overwhelm those guarding her on the glass as well. Not only a factor on offense, but the defense she also provides is sound. Jocelyn dissuades drivers from getting in the lane. The ’27 forward is resolute option for NMH.

A well-balanced, fundamentally sound forward that offers great positional size and the versatility, particularly on defensive side of the ball. Gesner is rarely outplayed in matchups. Sort of like an unsung hero of her teams. She does a lot of the work that make it easier for her team to succeed. There’s an enormous amount of value that a player like Gesner brings and schools are starting to take interest; not too long ago she received an offer from Canisius. Jocelyn has strong physical tools that make her effective on the boards and hard contain down low. She perseveres through contact plus she finds ways to come through for her team no matter what. Jocelyn may not be the leading scorer, but her solid attributes directly lead to winning basketball.

Strong physical frame who can battle with contact. Puts a body on her defender. She is long with a wingspan. Can use a dropstep to score in the paint. At 6’3, she continues to work! 

Love Gesner’s enthusiasm and intensity- it is seen and heard! Strong leadership skills! Tough on the boards, difficult to guard with her size and strength. Fundamentally sound with her footwork, uses the glass well, and dominates in the paint.

A player with rising star potential and plays thoroughly through all periods of the game. Gesner finds ways to affect what’s happening on the floor, regardless of if she’s a focal point. Her efforts can go overlooked because she’s not always doing the flashiest stuff. However, her persistence and hard work give her fruitful opportunities that come at ideal points in the game. Canisus just offered Gesner the other day.
