Southern Miss’s do-it-all forward with old-school production
Charles Gaines is a classic impact forward for Southern Miss: in the 2003-04 season, he averaged 15.7 points and 10.4 rebounds while starting every game, showing reliable scoring, physical rebounding, and real two-way toughness. He’s the kind of player who wins possessions, not just box-score lines — efficient around the rim, active on the glass, and steady enough to anchor a lineup. If a team needs a rugged frontcourt piece who brings energy, consistency, and no-nonsense production, Gaines fits the bill beautifully.
