Lauren Avant now a Lady Vol
image from Commercial Appeal
Dan Fleser of The Knoxville News-Sentinel had a question and answer session with former Lausanne standout, Lauren Avant.
Q: What were you like growing up?
A: I was pretty nerdy. I was a tomboy and a nerd. It was either all school or all sports.
Q: You were in a Time Magazine feature, "Courting Eighth Graders," then a year later you were in Sports Illustrated's "Where will they be?" feature. So what was it like for you to be a child star?
A: I consider myself to be just like anyone else. Getting recognized by people, especially AAU (tournaments) in different cities, it was new. It was exciting at first, but I know I can't get complacent. I still have my goal that I haven't achieved and that's winning the national championship.
Q: Your boyfriend is former Ole Miss guard Terrico White. How did that work with you being such a big Tennessee fan?
A: It was really interesting because he almost came here. He almost came to Tennessee.
Q: In your bio you mentioned your mother (Dana, clinical director at Methodist University Hospital, Memphis) as a famous person you admire. What is it about her?
A: She used sports to get to college and college to achieve a profession and I thought that was admirable, that she continuously worked hard not only in school but in sports. That's what I want to do.
Q: You also mentioned Pat Summitt. Are you just trying to score points?
A: She did the same thing. She talks about all the time her farm days. What I think of with her is her morals and values. She is one of the most honest people you'll ever meet in your entire life. That's just how she is. There's no sugar coating.
Q: Finally, you mentioned Jackie Robinson, who broke the color barrier in baseball, and Dred Scott, a slave who sued unsuccessfully for his freedom. What about those choices?
A: They really inspired me because they pursued their goals in spite of the circumstances. They understood the consequences and they still persevered. They could've easily not stood up and not tried to do anything but they did and now they're remembered in history.

My name is Andr'a "Ann" Jones. I play for Liberty Tech Magnet HS and Memphis Elite-Daniels. I am a rising Senior that will graduate as part of the 2011 class.
Today I made my decision to verbally commit to the University of Memphis Women's Basketball program. I am so excited to play for Coach Melissa McFerrin and with my future teammates. I have made this decision officially visiting University of Memphis, Mississippi State and University of Georgia. In addition to these schools, I unofficially visited several other schools and had multiple other division one scholarship offers but decided on University of Memphis because of the excitement around the program and what the coaching staff and players believe we can do during my 4 years.
Jasmine Joyner 2010 Highlights
The highlights are still coming in from the Inaugural Patosha Jeffery's End of Summer Shoot Out.
The first thing you notice about this young lady is length. Jasmine Joyner (Memphis Lady Disciples/ 2013) is listed at 6'2 but her wing span is astronomical.. She gets down the floor extremely well and often times is the first player back in defensive transition. Her strengths are shot blocking and rebounding. Her footwork is great in reacting on defense. She is a sophomore at Southaven High (MS) and according to MaxPreps.com she averaged 5.3 points, 4.5 blocks and 6.9 rebounds as a freshman.
Registration for Patosha Jeffery's Pre-Season Show Off Camp has been extended to September 22th. Visit GirlsBasketballExposure.com
