'I like to tell people, 'Once I jump and I'm in the air, all I see is the rim.''
PJ Brown Arizona Daily Star Watch closely as Jade Loville touches down her right foot, then her left as she catches a pass and elevates over her defender and releases a shot.
The 5-foot-11-inch guard/forward says she elevates to gain an edge. She can jump 32 to 33 inches, the second-best mark on the team behind freshman Lemyah Hylton. Loville's leap has been part of her game since middle school. Her father, Derek — a three-time Super Bowl champion with 49ers and the Broncos — told Loville that opponents would be bigger, longer, quicker and would be able to jump high at the next level. She stopped shooting from her chest, like middle schoolers do, and moved the ball on her body. She also began jumping when she shot.
Loville jumps off different platforms at different angles to strengthen her knees. Run into Loville on Arizona's campus, and you may also see her jumping rope. She always carries one in her backpack. Loville started seeing early results to all her work on her jumper in high school. It continued at Boise State, where she began her career before transferring to ASU. She shot 36% as a freshman, 46% as a sophomore and 43% as a junior. As a Sun Devils senior, Loville shot 43% while averaging 16.6 points per game.
