veteran Southern post presence with rebounding grit and inside touch
Laneisha Stephens was a 6-foot-1 forward/center for Southern whose game stood out for physical rebounding, interior scoring, and steady two-way value; in a 2012 SWAC Player of the Week nod, she posted 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists in a win over Jackson State, and Southern later noted she played through a partially torn ACL in 2013, a real toughness tell[2][12]. Her value is the kind coaches love: reliable paint production, willingness to battle on the glass, and the sort of competitive edge that makes a roster feel older and meaner in the best way[2][4].
