Jillian Palan brings transfer toughness and rebounding edge to Evansville
Palan is a forward worth watching because Evansville describes her as a transfer coming off a strong rookie season at North Central Missouri College, and she’s being recognized for relentless intensity and rebounding tenacity. That profile matters: she sounds like a high-motor, physical frontcourt piece who can raise a team’s effort level and help on the glass, even if her value isn’t fully captured by box scores. For a roster that needs toughness, energy, and a battle-tested presence, she looks like a credible fit.
