The announcer says this girl wears a men's size 18 shoe!:eek:

Being that tall is hard, in general, and being that tall as a high schooler is a nightmare. Not to mention being a woman that tall.

I couldn't see her facial features but I hope she doesn't have that "giant disease."

Dang!!! A size 18 in men's shoes is not the business!

dayum.....glad I only wear a 14....

14....that's a great number;)!

I was thinking the same thing.

I can't imagine the bone problems she may have as she gets older.:(

I can imagine the huddle talk -- you take her, no, you take her, no you take her, I'm not gonna take her, she's 14 inches taller than me! It looks like she barely even has to break a sweat defending against those other teams. You know the college and WNBA scouts are just salivating at the thought of recruiting her...

See I have problems with shopping for clothes and I am only 6 feet tall, so I know it is a nightmare for her!!!

Seriously.......the inseam on tall pants is not long enough for me, nor are most of the extra talls.:mad::mad::mad:

Could this young woman be drafted out of high school by the WNBA?

Has that happened yet? Not that I'm aware of.

I'm not aware of that happening yet either, and even if it's possible, I hope she'd take a college opportunity first for her own sake.

Go 'head, SisterGreek!

:)

But all the cute guys are shorter than me (in flats).:(:( Got some tall cute guys in your area? lol

im pretty tall for a girl....5'9

Lisa Leslie could dunk.

Yes. :)

(Including my ex who is 6'7")

At University of Tennessee, we are quite used to the "dunk" having had Michelle Snow, and now Candice Parker.

Yippie!!! Someone else in Tennessee;). I went to undergrad at Univ. of Memphis and I'm in grad school at MTSU....hey neighbor:D!

She should because WNBA players aren't paid like their NBA counterparts....I still don't think there is a player that has broken the million dollar mark yet.

Agree. But I think that about the men as well.

On the other hand, some people aren't college material. Not saying that about this young woman at all.

I was telling my stepdad about her and about her chances in making the WNBA. Since now the NBA won't let kids out of HS go into the draft, we were thinking that the same rules apply to the WNBA (NBA owns WNBA).

But I can see Tennessee, LSU (calling her the female Shaq), Rutgers and a whole lot of other good women's college teams callling her.
