Are you suggesting that Hines-Allen is is a load that just throws her weight around and gets decent positioning from time to time? And is egged on by her coach?

If you are, I'd strongly suggest you've got the wrong Myisha Hines-Allen in mind. While I'm a hardcore ND alum and fan, I've also watched Myisha Hines-Allen grow up in our mutual hometown of Montclair, NJ and that young woman is a solidly build 6-2" who has enough athletic ability to have been actively recruited year-in, year-out by the state-champion soccer team to join them due to overall athletic ability and, yes stamina.  As for rebounding, she's going for it hard, but it's not as if she's neglected this part of the game.

Maybe she can't jump like Gabby, but she has intuition and a good first-step (which would've helped her in soccer as it does in hoops), combined with the good positioning you noted and her box-out skills.

Turner always played Myuisha hard...and the Irish missed that this year.  I'll be rooting for Myisha because she's a good kid, her family contributes to the hoops scene in Essex County  and
