Rising 6'3" UIW Forward with Elite Rebounding Instincts and Freshman Grit
Kandyce Shepard, a 6'3" forward for the UIW Cardinals, stands out not just for her career-high 8 points and rebounding surge in the 2017-18 season, but for her relentless intensity and natural post presence that transcends limited game time (8.6 MPG). As a freshman from Austin, Texas who averaged 6.1 boards per game at Westwood High, she brings a rare combination of physical maturity and defensive hunger that makes her a high-upside fit for any team needing a reliable rebounder and locker-room leader. Her injury history is clean, and her personality is marked by quiet confidence and coachability—traits that signal long-term growth beyond raw stats.
