a long-time Redbird forward with size, toughness, and all-around hustle
Brea Banks profiles as a physical 6-foot Illinois State forward whose game is built on rebounding, activity, and doing the little things that tilt winning possessions. In her Illinois State career, she was known for being efficient around the rim and reliable on the glass, with a reputation for toughness and versatility rather than flash. The key question for a team is fit: if you want a high-motor frontcourt player who brings energy, defense, and effort plays, she fits beautifully; if you need a pure volume scorer, she’s more of a complementary piece than a featured engine.
