Signing Land
"Jocelyn is like having a point forward at times with her ability to handle the ball against taller forwards but also has the ability to score on the blocks," Parkinson stated. "She has consistent range on her outside shot and has the ability to guard multiple positions."

Why Land Chose Butler: The coaches value you not only as a student-athlete, but as a person. The environment at Butler is something that I value as well, and it was very important to me in my recruiting process.
