Carmen Morales brings efficient low-post value for the Salukis
Morales enters her junior season at Southern Illinois as a 6-foot-2 center who already showed a tidy finishing touch, leading the team in field-goal percentage at 57% in the 2025-26 season while averaging 1.9 points and 1.5 rebounds in 7.8 minutes over 25 games. Southern Illinois has praised her as a steady defensive presence with strong rebounding and lane strength, which makes her a useful fit if a team wants rim protection, physicality, and low-drama frontcourt depth. She’s not a volume scorer, but she looks like the kind of rugged glue player coaches trust.
