Jaycee Coe came to Western Kentucky last spring with the reputation of being a 3-point sharpshooter.

Michelle Clark-Heard said Wednesday that the Kentucky transfer has more than lived up to those expectations.

The Lady Topper coach told the Daily News that the sophomore guard Coe – who will be eligible to play next season after only being able to practice during the 2015-16 campaign – “probably shoots it as well as any kid I’ve coached.”

Coe is “going to stretch the defense incredibly,” Heard said. “I’m excited to have her on the floor.

“They’re going to have to guard her, and guard her maybe two or three steps past half-court.
