Throwback Thursday---Jeryl Sasser!!!
Posted: Thu Aug 11, 2011 8:34 amThis is from DFW Metroplex Hoops today on FB and I totally agree. I remember when he committed to SMU as my son and I were so excited that Jerryl stayed home. He was a fun and unique player to watch and appreciate what he did for SMU in the 90's. Who will be the next Jeryl at SMU?
Throwback Thursday: Jeryl Sasser

During the mid-90s, Kimball High School plowed through opponents left and right. Just as the reigning 4A state champion Knights do now, they did much of the same back then. People came in droves to watch their brand of basketball, and one of the players who was a staple of those years was Jeryl Sasser.
Sasser did it all in those days. The man could score, rebound, pass, and he also did the dirty work, the little things a team needs a player to do to win. He could score from the outside, but he had post game as well, which is something rarely seen these days from players if they already aren’t developed in the post.
The thing about Sasser is that he was known more as a perimeter player, but was so versatile that he could do work anywhere. He helped Kimball to consecutive state championships, won MVPs in tournaments, all-state honors, and plenty of other accolades along the way.
He decided to stay close to home and play college ball over at SMU. During his time with the Mustangs, he continued to improve his game. By the time his four years came to an end, he left his mark all over the school’s record books, including holding the mark as the all-time leading scorer in school history.
