A look at Jillian Hayes’ career so farย
We can say Jillian Hayes’ parents’ sporting career played a huge role in her development as an athlete. Her first stop in Cincinnati was Loveland High School, where she played.
She is still the most productive rebounder and scorer in school history. She just finished her fourth season with the Bearcats. She averaged 12.9 points and 8.4 rebounds each game, which was quite outstanding.ย
The forward’s freshman year, when she averaged her lowest 7.6 points and 5.3 rebounds, was the only one in which her play wasn’t consistent.ย
The player is back for his senior year of college basketball. Many Cincinnati supporters are eager to witness her in action. To be honest, Hayes would love to work as a sportscaster.
She currently hosts the podcast “Half a Athlete.โ She was also there at the New Heights podcast, a podcast which Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce co-hosts.ย
Hayes was recognised as a CSC Academic All-District selection and as an Honourable Mention All-Big 12 player. Jillian Hayes has led the Bearcats in scoring, rebounds, and steals throughout the last three seasons.ย
