Stephanie Okechukwu ….TT Coach Krista Gerlich is already drooling over the
game changing possibilities of adding a seven footer to an already pretty good team…..
Not to mention how will UCLA stack up to a suck squad with JuJu, Jazzy, and #1 recruit Saniyah Hall?

Notwithstanding the foregoing,

Hidalgo would of course be a marquee get, (though one weakness 3 point shooting). Would she flee a NDung rebuild to join a UCLA train wreck, er,
“re-load” …..?

My wishlist would include elite guard Katie Fiso going to waste for the swoosh money in Duckland …can she be lured away?
If she deigns to be available, Ohio States center 6’6” Elsa Lemmilä has a lot of upside for filling the vertical space vacated by Lauren…

But if that 7 footer is any good,, imagine someone 5” taller than Lauren…it’s gonna be a long
coupla years….
