Mercedes Rogers is a rebound-first Cowgirls forward with a proven double-double nose for the ball
In the 2017-18 season, Mercedes Rogers was a 6-foot McNeese State forward known for doing the gritty work: she posted a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double in one game and had already built a track record of 8.0 points and 7.3 rebounds per game in 2016-17, including five double-doubles. The fit is obvious if you want toughness, interior physicality, and a player who consistently wins extra possessions. The sell? She’s not a flashy stat-stuffer — she’s the kind of steady, hard-nosed frontcourt piece coaches trust when the game gets ugly.
