Jessie Stomski #41

Bio

Jessie Stomski came to Wisconsin after coach Jane Albright

won a spirited recruiting battle with a number of national powers. Sometimes

highly rated players seem overrated once they get to college. In retrospect,

Stomski was underrated. A powerfully built southpaw, Jessie was a prototypical

power forward. She had a soft shooting touch and some of the best hands ever

seen. As she matured, her work ethic became better and better. By the time she

was a senior, she was rarely outworked--on the court or off. She was a player

who was both able and willing to put the team on her strong back. Statistically,

she ranks near the top of the lists in many categories. In my never-ever humble

opinion, she stands as the best player to ever a wear a basketball uniform for

Wisconsin
