Rice’s physical, scoring-minded forward with proven double-double upside
In the 2009-10 season, Jackie Stanley was the engine for Rice’s frontcourt, leading the Owls in scoring at 13.7 points per game and rebounding at 6.8 per game, with six double-doubles and a season-high 36 points in a Conference USA title-game performance. Rice described her as “extremely fast for her size” and a physical post player with a scoring mentality, which is exactly the kind of blend coaches love: interior production, toughness, and a game that can bend defenses. She also battled back after sitting out a season with a knee injury, which adds real context to her value.
