Connie Yori sees the same things others do when they watch Nebraska freshman Jessica Shepard play.
The NU coach sees all the 20-point games, the 6-foot-4 forward making powerful and athletic moves inside, and making better passes than some guards.
That’s all fun stuff, Yori says. It's fun to have a true post player. She also sees something else, though. Potential. Over and over this season Yori has spoken about how Shepard has just begun to tap into her potential.
On Tuesday, Yori was saying the same thing about Shepard, even during Shepard’s current stretch of impressive games.
