NC STATE TRANSFER WILL BE A STRONG ADDITION TO LOUISVILLE WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
Zamareya "Zam" Jones leaves Wes Moore's N.C. State's program and comes into a Cards roster as a very viable candidate to join probable starters Roberts, Randolph, Istanbulluoglu and Berry.
Jones had a spectacular sophomore eason in Raleigh, NC..with starts in 30 out of 31 games, 14. 9 points per game, and 32.54 minutes per game. She was the squad's starting point guard but was often undermined because of her diminutive height (5'7").
She arrives to Louisville at a time when their previous starting point guard (Renya Scott) has graduated. A tribute to Jeff Walz for seeing the need and getting a fix for it.
A lot was made about Jones having to share ball-handling duties with Wolfpack guard Zoe Brooks. Jones addressed the change in venue for her:
"After a lot of time, thought, and reflection...I have decided to enter the transfer portal. NC State will always hold a special place in my heart and I will be forever grateful for the memories, relationships and experience I have gained at N.C. State"
We feel ...here at Cardinal Couple ...that she is the link that will make the UofL program capable of making the Final four and more. We look forward to her time at UofL for two years.
