Mandy Close is the kind of guard every coach remembers
Mandy Close’s Oregon State profile points to a high-IQ, high-motor guard whose value was never just scoring: in the 2005-06 season, she averaged 13.3 points and 4.8 assists per game, with 149 assists on the year, and she finished her OSU career with 289 assists and 84 made threes[1][2]. She also earned a reputation as a durable, trust-the-ball-handler leader, playing 121 games for the Beavers and logging every minute in 16 games as a senior[2]. If you want a competitive floor general who elevates structure, tempo, and teammate confidence, she’s a strong fit[1][2].
