This trip is strewn with photos like this and not one, no not one height debate! Shocking. Really shocking.

In another picture, You see the top of Naphessa's foot wrapping. Seems not to serious.

Of all the players, the one who looks different in size than advertised is Megan Walker listed at 6' 1".

She is standing next to Gabby Williams 5'11" but she looks shorter and we cant say Gabby is wearing any heels since she is in gym clothes. Am I nuts? :confused:
Gabby is also next to Napheesa...they appear to be close in height (which we know isn't true). I'm thinking Gabby is on her toes!

as long as the player in the middle of that line is clearly the tallest I'm happy......:)
Now that you mention it, I think Z has grown an inch and is up to 6' 7". (Let the debate begin...)

They are in Italy..... everything is in metric. We would have to divide by 39.37, carry the 10, multiply by their height in inches, divide by cm in a yard, carry the height in feet, and god only knows what else to figure out who is taller than who(m). And Z looks like she is taller than the first floor of the building so what is really going on here.

In some places, what we call the first floor they call the ground floor and the first floor is our second floor .....

Just dawned on me that Phee has some sort of wrap/device on her right foot/ankle, so she is DQed from this height debate.

Nice catch. I missed that. Ankle sprain?

Molly is listed as 5' 9" if that helps. I'd say 6' 1" is a stretch for Meg. Gabby is always at least 2" off the ground.

Something like it in the Italian All Star game. I believe the report was she came down on an Italian player's foot.

Well, you really walked the plank with that admission! 2d, 5th, 9th, 11th from left.
You sure about that? The fifth looks like Kia Nurse to me, while the 6th from the left looks like a newbie. The 9th looks like Gabby, while the 10th is a new face, at least to me. And isn't the 12th one (the bespectacled one) a rookie as well?

Kia, in particular, looks very cute in that picture.

I like this one as well.

@RockyMTblue2 I agree with you not only has the BY lost its edge but apparently so has CD. For 30 some years now the UCONN team has always lined up in height order and it was CD's job to make sure that happened. Yet here they are in Italy-all out of order. Unless... they are really not??

It's hard to say when the players are in civvies, because shoe height varies. Going for the low-hanging fruit, Crystal is the shortest and Azura is the tallest. I'd say they range from about 0.93 Hartley units to 1.15 Hartley units. Meg does look shorter than Gabby, but Gabby is as tall as Pheesa, which is not right. Lou looks a little taller, and Batouly a little shorter.

Batouly looks fashionable, as usual. She's the new Morgan Tuck. I really like Lexi's dress and Kia's red and black combo. Meg has an understated dress. They get gold stars from Christine Dailey.

Sonny, no need to ID the freshmen. Just pick out the vets and, as Sherlock Holmes said, whoever's left must be the frosh.
Maybe by "ID" they meant "put a name to a face"?

Actually, I never liked the ordering of players by height. Height Shaming :rolleyes:
