the veteran Cowgirl with size, toughness, and team-first value
Heather Howard’s Oklahoma State résumé points to a long, dependable frontcourt presence: she was a 6-foot-3 forward who played 69 games for the Cowgirls from 2009-12, earned Academic All-Big 12 first-team honors twice, and helped OSU reach the 2010 NCAA Tournament and win the 2011-12 WNIT title. In the 2010-11 season, she appeared in 31 games and made two starts, showing she could give a team minutes, rebounds, and physicality without needing the ball. The real appeal is her blend of size, maturity, and low-ego reliability.
