Jones, McClain ink with WKU women
November 10, 2011
Two members of Head Coach Mary Taylor Cowles 2012
recruiting class have officially signed.
Jeffersonville (Ind.) forward Jalynn McClain and
Green County guard Micah Jones both submitted their letters of
intent to Cowles on Wednesday.
Both players have dealt or are dealing with rehab
from anterior cruciate ligament tears.
McClain suffered a torn ACL in June, one season after
averaging 15.6 points and six rebounds per game in helping
Jeffersonville win the Indiana 4A state championship.
Meanwhile Jones sat out her junior year with an ACL
tear, coming off a sophomore season in which she led Green County
with 15.2 points per game.
Cowles said her staff โnever batted an eyeโ on
rethinking Jonesโ recruitment after the injury.
โ(The staff) never doubted if we wanted Micah or
not,โ Cowles said. โThe offer had been extended and it didnโt
change our mind at all.
โI didnโt want her to worry about the recruiting
process so that she could focus on getting her knee, her body and
getting herself mentally and physically ready to go.โ
