Raneem Elgedawy provides the WKU women’s basketball team with something it hasn’t had in a long time – a true post presence.
The 6-foot-4 freshman forward’s athleticism, size and flashy moves inside the paint give the Lady Toppers someone that can easily score in double figures night in and night out. Having Elgedawy, a player that WKU head coach Michelle Clark-Heard classifies as a “true post,” now opens up new opportunities for other players.
“A true post is someone that wants to have her back to the basket,” Clark-Heard said of Elgedawy. “She’s so skilled around the basket, so we’re really excited that we have someone like that because it just adds to what Ivy (Brown) can do and the other players on the wings with Tashia (Brown) and some of the other guards.
