Two-way UMass presence with proven steal-and-rebound instincts
Edris Bailey has shown the kind of gritty two-way production that coaches trust: in a 2004 matchup with Duquesne, she posted 18 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 steals, and in a season opener against USC she led UMass on the glass with 7 rebounds. That combination suggests a forward who can impact games without needing touches, especially through defense, activity, and hustle. For a team looking for an energetic, physical fit who can rebound and disrupt passing lanes, Bailey’s profile points to a strong glue-player mentality.
