Mitchell Says...
"Jackie is one of the top-ranked players in the country and
she has unbelievable skill set and great size and strength. She is extremely
skilled for a post player as she shoots the ball well and has great range.
She also has size and the ability to operate an inside-outside combination
that will help make us a better basketball team."
