Jailin Cherry brings veteran savvy and two-way steadiness to LSU’s backcourt
In the 2021-22 season, Jailin Cherry was a reliable fifth-year guard for LSU, starting 30 of 31 games and producing career highs of 9.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game, with 15 double-figure scoring nights and a 24-point NCAA Tournament breakout against Jackson State. Her value goes beyond box-score lines: she was a confident, versatile backcourt piece who could handle the ball, rebound like a wing, and deliver in big moments. That kind of mature, multi-role guard play is exactly what a contender can use.
