PISCATAWAY, N.J. – The Rutgers women's basketball program will fund four trips to professional scouting combines surrounding the NCAA Final Four in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Osh Brown earned a call to the invitation only ProHoops Combine on April 2, while Shug Dickson, Jailyn Mason, and Victoria Morris will venture to the Insider Exposure Pro Combine on April 1.
The ProHoops Combine is an invitation only combine to give the top college seniors, free agents and overseas professionals an opportunity to be evaluated by WNBA coaches and General Managers, foreign coaches and agents before the WNBA Draft on April 11. Insider Exposure hosts events with a proven record of helping players earn professional contracts, including Rutgers graduates Caitlin Jenkins in 2019 (Saarlouis, GER) and April Sykes in 2018 (Homentmen, LEB).
Osh Brown, who leaves the college game with 1,821 career points, was named All-Big Ten Honorable Mention after her graduate season "On the Banks." Brown maintained and extended her NCAA active career lead in both double-doubles and rebounds this season as a Scarlet Knight. Twelve double-doubles this winter gave Brown 61 for her career, while her 9.1 rebounds per game ranked fifth in the Big Ten and brings her career rebounding total to 1,389, more than any other active player in the country and No. 27 all-time in the NCAA career rebounds record book.
Shug Dickson was Rutgers' second-leading scorer in 2021-22 with 8.8 points per game, which included 12.8 per game over the final six games of the season with three Rutgers victories. She scored 19 in back-to-back games against No. 21 Iowa and a win at Illinois to close the regular season. Dickson also led Rutgers in assists with 87 at 3.6 per game. She has compiled 1,124 points, 271 assists, and 97 steals from the guard position over four full seasons at Tulsa, Missouri, and Rutgers.
Jailyn Mason graduates with historic experience in NCAA Division I basketball, ranking 10th all-time in games played with 156. She has racked up 1,072 points with 157 made three-point field goals, 502 rebounds, 339 assists, and 152 steals. Her three-point shooting ability shined brightest this season with a 5-of-7 mark from the beyond the arc en route to 17 points in a win over Wagner in December.
Victoria Morris heads to the combine with 1,505 career points and 285 makes from three-point distance following a 140-game career at Old Dominion and Rutgers. A two-time All-Conference USA Second Team selection, Morris also passed out 217 assists and grabbed 82 steals over her five seasons.
