Coach Waller quote:

"Finnley Jacobson is one of the kindest, most team-oriented players I have ever coached. She never misses practice and continuously puts in the work to make herself a reliable post presence. She is a combination of strength and speed. One of the fastest kids in our program from baseline to baseline and no one was stronger than her in our conference. She can finish with both hands, and her passing out of the post will provide open looks for perimeter players. Paul Smith's will be a program where she can grow as a player and as a student. Our program will miss her, but we will be sure to follow her."

-Bill Waller

Why did you choose Paul Smith's:

"At first, I was really drawn in by Paul Smith's Programs, which seemed much more hands-on and involved than any other school. I fell in love with the school when I visited, it seemed almost like a summer camp and all of the facilities and areas were STUNNING. I'm excited to be able to see and explore more this fall!"

-Finnely Jacobson

Coach Rideout's quote:

"After watching Finnley play she shows an abundant amount of athleticism and basketball skill. She will be a contributor for years to come at PSC. Her positive personality will allow her to be an outstanding addition to our Women's basketball program as well as the community at Paul Smith's College. As a coaching staff we are looking forward to having the opportunity to work with her for the next four years!"
