the stretch-big who could score inside and step outside
In the 2002-03 season, Marie Deparrois gave Ole Miss a useful frontcourt blend: 89 points, 86 rebounds, and enough perimeter touch to hit 4 threes, which is a rare wrinkle for a 6-4 center[2]. Game notes from that season described the freshman center as a player who “sparked” the Rebels and “added a new dimension” with her outside shooting, suggesting a versatile, high-energy fit rather than a one-note post bruiser[5]. She looks like the kind of big who can help a team by stretching defenses and doing the dirty work on the glass[2][5].
