From the espnW article:

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.

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 :)
