The Buffs’ motor is ready to run it back for one final season in Boulder.
Soon after leading Colorado to the women’s basketball Sweet 16, point guard Jaylyn Sherrod announced in April that she’ll be using her fifth year of college eligibility granted by the NCAA due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Alabama native stands as one of just five players in program history to record at least 1,000 points, 450 assists and 200 steals.
Sherrod recently sat down with CBS News Colorado sports reporter Eric Christensen and talked about her decision to return for an extra season. One of her primary motivations was the fact that the Buffs are returning three other starters Frida Formann, Quay Miller and Aaronette Vonleh. Plus, head coach JR Payne was also able to add Michigan transfer Maddie Nolan.
“Personally I just feel like we have a lot we can accomplish and I think with the core of the team we have coming back and we’re adding good pieces, ‘why not run the table and see how far we can get?’ We have a lot of unfinished business here and it doesn’t feel like it’s the end for me,” Sherrod told CBS News Colorado.
