" And then Breanna Stewart … She has a lot of talent. And she’s the tallest person you’ve ever seen."
Part of a longer quote, it brings back the question of whether Stewart has grown or not. I am looking forward to her visit to Springfield.
Besides recent photos of Breanna showing her to be approximately the same height as one of her South American opponents, who is listed as 6'4", we also had a poster report a few days ago that Breanna herself tweeted that she is 6'4", and that the nature of the tweet indicated she was not real happy about being announced or talked about as 6'7". Knowing some girls who were quite tall when I was in high school myself, they enjoyed being able to excel at volleyball and basketball but were
not otherwise enamored of their height in and of itself. Having their height exaggerated further by others would not have been a pleasant experience for them.
I have a feeling this is what's going on with Breanna, and that Bria is simply having a little fun with this at Breanna's expense by commenting on her height in public. The current players are obviously close with the new commits and I'll bet they are only too aware of all the 6'7" vs. 6'4" blather that began at the Pan Am games.
