Jade Thurmon Plays 29 Minutes Against ND State

[Buckminster]

I have been rooting for Jade to do well because I think her speed and quickness can be a big asset to this team. I notice her minutes against ND State (2nd on the team to Ashley) and sense that Bill maybe has decided that Jade will be in the primary rotation. I think this is mostly a good sign.

I have always rooted for Jade. I watched her a couple of times in HS and I believe I saw her once in a JC tourney. I wasn't sure if she was actually a Big 12 caliber player or not but she's very interesting to watch.

She blasted past several Bison players on the dribble as they tried to get back after what I remember maybe was her getting picked and her picking it right back. She's super quick but doesn't always use her quickness to the teams advantage as she can dribble herself into trouble like some of her drives behind/under the basket without a plan of what to do with the ball. If she can not stomp on the gas in every situation she can be a real asset. We'll have to see how things go when we get to conference play or after Iowa and such. Our SOS is 300 right now so we can experiment all we want but we're going to have to settle on a rotation by Big 12 time (even with the conference being somewhat weak overall).
