Aquira DeCosta brings Baylor a proven, versatile frontcourt punch
DeCosta entered Baylor as a blue-chip forward and top-5 national recruit, praised for her rebounding, scoring touch, and length; in Baylor’s 2018-19 season she missed the first six games with a foot injury but still flashed real upside, averaging 3.0 points and 1.9 rebounds in limited minutes while hitting 40.8% from the floor and 10 threes, including an 11-point NCAA Tournament outing. The fit question is about durability and consistency, but the upside is obvious: a skilled, multi-tool forward who can stretch the floor, rebound, and bring high-end pedigree.
