Cimiya Rideaux brings size and rebounding upside to Northwestern State’s front line
Rideaux is a 6'2" freshman center for Northwestern State who has already shown defensive and rebounding flashes in limited 2025-26 action, with strong per-minute boards and shot-contest upside despite a small role so far. ESPN lists her as an active freshman, and advanced stats show 9 appearances, 6.6 minutes per game, a 21.7% offensive rebound rate, and a 14.1% defensive rebound rate, suggesting she can help on the glass when given run. The fit question is whether a team values a developing interior presence more than immediate polish and production.[1][2][3]
