CINCINNATI — A new UC Women's basketball player just got a shoutout from Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. A'riel Jackson signed with the Bearcats out of the 2022 high school class and James is a fan.

"I know you down in Cincinnati right now. Continue to be a great teammate. Continue to do what you got to do out on that floor," James said while Jackson's mom stood by. "But most importantly, continue to be a great woman off the floor. That is the most important."
