Indiana’s 6-1 forward was a steady two-way contributor
In her Indiana career, Hope Elam brought veteran size, rebounding, and a reliable scoring punch, including a 10.9 points-per-game season with 4.5 rebounds per game and a stretch where she led IU’s bench spark early by averaging 15.0 points across the first four games of 2010-11[2][3]. She wasn’t just a box-score forward: the Hoosiers leaned on her for toughness, three-point range, and timely defensive activity, with seasons showing blocks, steals, and double-figure scoring consistency[1][3]. The fit is obvious for a team needing a battle-tested forward who can play physical, stretch the floor, and compete without the drama—just hoops and work[1][4].
