Anna Wilson at Tennessee Game - pauloalto - 12-22-2013
I believe that Anna Wilson, Russell Wilson's sister, was at the Tennessee game last night. She's a 2016 5-star guard from Virginia and a Stanford commit.

I think Doug Baldwin has been elbowing (Dange)Russ Wilson about the merits of Stanford. Surely Sherman has been chiming in as well. Gotta love the indirect endorsements!

More on Anna Wilson and her brother Russell's enthusiasm for her:

Her verbal came out in September.

From the espnW article:
Quote:Dad had been a two-sport athlete at Dartmouth, and the last cut of the San Diego Chargers in 1980, before going into law. He stood less than 6-feet, which is probably where Russell gets his infamous stature. Anna, 5-8 with feet still growing, takes after her tall mom, Tammy, with whom she lives in Richmond. Tammy, an uber-protective legal nurse consultant at the University of Virginia, was a good athlete herself and could have made the track team if not for the admonition of her grandmother that she stick to her studies. Anna's grandfather, Harrison Wilson Jr., was a football and basketball player at Kentucky State University who went on to become president of Norfolk State University.
Quote:So there's a good and a bad to the Wilson legacy. Anonymity will never be one of the perks. Nor will low expectations, thanks to her family's history of athletic and academic excellence (She's got a grandmother who was a college professor and an uncle who graduated from Harvard Law, for good measure).
That's a heck of a pedigree there. And if anonymity is something she wants to try, Stanford could provide that for her...just as Barry J :)
