UCSB’s efficient, high-IQ frontcourt anchor
In the 2017-18 season, Drew Edelman was the kind of forward coaches love: a finishing machine who led UC Santa Barbara in scoring, rebounding, blocks, and field goal percentage, while shooting 57.0% from the field and averaging 16.2 points and 9.6 rebounds.[2][4] Her differentiator was efficiency and reliability—she didn’t just produce, she did it with smart shot selection, physicality on the glass, and enough toughness to rack up double-doubles. Add a 3.96 graduate GPA and a reputation as a two-way leader, and she reads like a glue-and-gas player every contender wants in the room.[8][9]
