Versatile Buckeye forward with scoring touch, rebounding grit, and veteran edge
Shayla Cooper was a polished Ohio State forward whose game was bigger than the box score: in the 2016-17 season, she averaged 11.6 points and 7.5 rebounds across her Buckeye career, with efficient shooting and enough range to punish teams inside and out. She was a two-time All-Big Ten second-team pick and finished with 26 career double-doubles, which screams steady production and physical consistency. The extra value? She was also praised for leadership and competitive fire, making her a strong fit for teams that want a reliable, high-motor veteran who can score without hijacking the offense.
