LSU’s steady, two-way floor general who leveled up fast
In the 2025-26 season, Jada Richard emerged as LSU’s starting point guard and a real difference-maker, averaging 9.5 points, 3.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals while shooting 44.8% overall, 40.8% from three and 88.6% at the line. Her edge is composure: she runs the offense, takes care of the ball, defends tough guard assignments, and has a knack for rising against top competition. A former top-100 recruit and Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year, she looks like a plug-in point guard with poise, toughness, and enough scoring pop to keep defenses honest.
