“Erin will bring us experience in the post and the size to complement Lauren [Cox], Queen [Egbo] and NaLyssa [Smith].,” Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey said in a press release. “It’s always good to have a local kid come and invigorate the local fans like Juicy has done. Getting these two re-united will be good to see on the floor.”

The Waco native played two seasons for the Lady Raiders after transferring to Texas Tech from Louisville.

DeGrate averaged 8.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game while averaging 17.4 minute per game. She scored a career-high 21 points in a win over Oklahoma State last season.
