"I am very excited to add Raquel to our team for this upcoming season," said Brown. She is a hard worker and a great teammate. Raquel has natural rebounding ability and a high motor. Her willingness to be physical is something that I know will help us in the post."

Prior to her time at the College of Central Florida, Cassidy was a decorated prep player. The Huntersville, N.C. resident started on varsity as an eighth grader at The Rock school and became a two-time Defensive Player of the Year. She won MVP honors at multiple tournaments over her high school career and helped her team win two consecutive conference and regional championships as a junior and senior. She was a First Team All-County player as a senior and played for nationally ranked AAU team FGB from 2015-2018.
