JuJu Watkins is already making a name for herself on the pro circuit with her gameplay. The star joined Azzi Fudd and 12 other players Unrivaled signed NIL deals with, putting huge faith in young talent. Sadly, the University of South Carolina is missing her at the moment due to her season-ending injury in the 2025 tournament. But they have another bright star on the roster: Jazzy Davidson.
While Watkins quickly took the freshman under her wing and was seen giving her sideline coaching during timeouts, the versatile player made a mark in the Big 10 conference with her flourishing all-around gameplay.
But even with her masterclass efforts, the star had to face disappointment on many occasions. The recent loss against Ohio State was one such instant.
Jazzy Davidson Taking Control Of Her Emotions
The 19-year-old star is one of the top prospects in the NCAAW and is showing improvement in every game. Against the number 10 seed Ohio State, the Trojan’s star scored 32 points with six rebounds and four assists. Though this was her career-high score, Jaloni Cambridge’s 33 points spoiled her night.
The player tried to hold off disappointment, but reporters caught her struggles. An interviewer asked, “Jazzy looks like you’re a little more right now. What are you just kind of feeling after that one? I just think that we’re all competitors and we all want to win, and…Sorry,” The player responded, “Yeah. I just Yeah.
