SMU’s do-it-all 6-6 guard who filled the box score and the stands
In the 2000-01 season, Jeryl Sasser was the engine of SMU’s attack, leading the Mustangs in scoring (17.0 points per game), rebounding (8.3), and assists (4.2) while finishing as the program’s all-time leading scorer with 1,992 points.[8][11] He was a long, versatile 6-6 guard who could create, rebound, and defend across positions, which is exactly the kind of multi-tool piece that makes a roster tougher and more flexible.[8][11] The knock: his shooting efficiency wasn’t elite, so his value came more from volume, versatility, and responsibility than pure shot-making flair.[11]
