Excellent news. Between her and Dodson we could have a dunking contest.
RE: WBB: Fran Belibi - bl82 - 05-21-2018
All we need is to add Amihere to have three legit dunkers. About a year ago, I dreamed we had three different women dunk on three plays in a row against Geno. Amihere would be the third of that trio...

Excellent! Googled up on her. Looks like she has a tight and supportive West African (Cameroon, specifically) family; her website mentions that her paternal grandfather is apparently a former Cameroonian Supreme Court Justice.
So that leaves us with two spots left after Jump and Belibi. Amihere and Jones, fingers crossed?
RE: WBB: Fran Belibi - Jskass - 05-21-2018
So Jump and one who CAN jump! Yes, let's keep fingers crossed on others -- though some school(s) way East of CA think they have them.

ESPN has her as a 93% 4star, # 33 overall. She is 6'1". Olson says this:
Quote:Athletic faceup-4 brings emerging offensive game consistency; attacks the rim in the lane, explodes over defenders; defends in pressure, active in passing lanes, possesses dunking capability in open floor; among the most athletic prospects, regardless of class. (Olson)
She didn't play basketball at all until high school, so she is not very experienced and is just now coming into her own. In other words, she probably will get a lot better as she matures. She is also a very good tennis player.
She is the daughter of two doctors and wants to be one too, and turned down Harvard, Princeton, and Notre Dame. A great fit for her.
And there is this quite interesting statement:
Quote:While Mattei continues to hail Belibi as a “female Kobe” and the “future No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft”, the iron is that Belibi’s commitment to the Cardinal likely spells the beginning of the end of her basketball career. The junior remained steadfast in her position that she doesn’t see herself playing professionally or internationally in any capacity.
“I want to be a doctor — I’ve seen how that can impact people’s lives,” Belibi said. “I feel like I have more of a calling towards that, as compared to playing basketball for a long time.”
And here are some of her dunks from a year ago--there are more since.
