Heck, we're going undefeated next year and we're gonna beat UCONN in the finals! You heard it here first! lol. Hey I like your enthusiasm ! Go Beavers !! Love the enthusiasm!! What is really cool is I do (seriously) believe we will field a team of 4 and 5 star, top 50 talent, certainly capable of getting back to the Final Four, perhaps more than once in the next 2-3 seasons........on paper. This is somewhat of a transitional year, finding our way after fielding teams with 1,2, and 3 WNBA level talents (though I half expect Marie to show up on some WNBA pre-draft boards). And even in this kind of season, we are still an upper echelon Pac-12 team. We could really use an unprecedented deep run in the tourney to help keep us in the hearts and minds of top level recruits, however. Go Beavers! |

There is NO WAY that Patricia Morris is just 6'7" unless these other girls are Hobbits. And I can't tell if they're Hobbits because I can't see their feet....  ... but hiding their feet does suggest that they could be embarrassingly Hobbit-like, which would be a real shame....  |

Two pieces of information to support your thesis that PM is likely > 6'7": An article written in February 2015, when PM was a freshman said "Patricia Morris of the Duarte High School girls basketball team is 6-foot-7 and is supposedly still growing." One can imagine she might have added an inch or two in ~3 years time. Second, a picture of her standing next to AA, and by transitivity AA standing next to Brittney Griner (with ESPN claiming AA was a "bit taller" than Griner): bennyshouse.com/post/62576All I can conclude is that we will have plenty of tall timber on our hands come November.... Go Beavers! |

In an interview shortly after the pic of AA and Grinder AA said she though she might be a bit taller than Brittany. When BG was told what AA said she replied "no, AA was definitely taller"

For the very tall women players, in general they must work very hard to develop the coordination, skills, stamina, etc. to be successful. The raw material was there for both Ruth and Marie but their willingness to pay the price for success in terms of endless hours of practice is a very rare commodity.
Hopefully, our new "bigs" will understand what is necessary for them to do to achieve similar results.
Go Beavers

That's what I call the triple-option.
