Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 5343849, member: 9844"] I think your conclusion that Okeke is clearly a C and that the Big O has a more diverse offensive skill set is a good take. It probably is an either or scenario, but the Big O at the 4 is intriguing possibility. Most project Sarah as a 3 in the W, and she seems to prefer the perimeter although she can do both, it's just that she was needed way more at the 4 last year. Is it possible the Big O sees herself as more of a 4 when she gets to the W, and would appreciate playing that position in college, but she sees a superstar entrenched there now? If true, then getting Okeke could make Sarah and Olivia happy if they were used that way. A lineup of Sarah at the 3, Big O the 4, and Okeke at the 5 is scary, and might require using Blanca more at the 2. The main obstacle to using Sarah at the 3 is being good enough at the 4 and 5 to use her there. That could happen from within if Ayanna or Ice made a quantum leap, or if Jana improved so much that she was too good to just get backup 5 minutes, and Geno played her with Serah frequently, with Serah moving to the 4. While that is possible, if the Big O can see a bright future at the 4 with Okeke, and Sarah being happy at the 3, I think it is something that at least should be explored in the recruiting pitch to both of these bigs.
