PERSONAL: Jessica Rose Preston... goal for the season is to learn as much as possible and to help the team go far... chose USF for the team, the coaching staff and the city... favorite quote is by Eleanor Roosevelt "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams"... favorite movies are Moulin Rouge and Life is Beautiful... favorite food is ice cream... enjoys music and spending time with friends in her spare time... favorite athlete is Kevin Garnett... parents are J.G. Preston and JoAnn Shroyer... born April 23, 1985 in Minneapolis, MN. STRAIGHT FROM THE USF COACHING STAFF: Jessy showed signs of being a factor on the floor last season as a freshman. We need Jessy to build on those performances this year to have a more consistent effort from her. She has the ability to shoot the ball from the perimeter. We need her to get on the boards to help us rebound the ball better at both ends.
