low-minute Herd forward with a chance to grow into a role
Mercedes DaCosta has been a developmental piece for Marshall’s women’s basketball program, appearing in only a handful of games in her first season and logging a season-high four minutes against Memphis, so she’s more of a project than a finished product right now.[4] The appeal is upside: at a forward spot, any fit will likely come from patience, physical development, and whether she can turn limited early-season reps into reliable depth over time.[4]
