Gamble regularly talks with fans after games and is considered a role model to many young girls around the women's basketball program.

On the court, Gamble is the first two-time All-American in Arkansas State women's basketball history and finished her career ranked fourth in program history with 1,932 points. She is also owns the record for most career free throws made with 443, and is tied for second with 479 assists in her collegiate career.

She also held elite company with UCONN's Breanna Stewart as the only two players in the nation to average over 18 points, four assists and shot over 50 percent per game this past season. Her arrival in Jonesboro also marked one of the most successful eras in school history, including three consecutive WNIT appearances and 73 wins in a three-year period.
