Message: [QUOTE="GamecockFam, post: 5315928, member: 10934"] I've had some thoughts rumbling around my head for a while about a comment made by DT when South Carolina won the national title with Cardoso. She made a comment (paraphrasing) that unlike in the men's game, athleticism cannot beat height/reach. While mostly true, I feel like there are more and more athletic players joining the league and I just wonder if the tides are slowly turning. It still takes elite athleticism but I think there are some great forwards out there who can out rebound or block a big like Cardoso or Griner. KK Timpson had a rebound today where she jumped higher than Cardoso, basically fingertips above the rim, to grab a defensive rebound. Anyways, just a Sunday evening thought for y'all... it makes me wonder if the "cheat code" that is a 6'7"+ center will no longer be a thing in the near future. [/QUOTE]
