Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 4255807, member: 7894"] I don't really think this is accurate. Hebard hardly scored a bucket from further away than 5 feet her entire career. Sabally #2 might step outside the paint some, but she's more likely to be operating on the low block. I think Graves likes using 2 posts w/ a high low. Before Prince there was McGwire, who was 6-5 but also would rather shoot jump shots than post up. Sabally #1 doesn't really fit the conversation because she was really more of a 3 than a 4 I'd say. She didn't play much til the end of her career but Giomi almost exclusively scored at the rim (mostly on put backs, they didn't really run any offense for her). Gildon was an undersized post, but I don't think she took many jump shots. Graves had 2 years w/ Alleyne, I don't remember her having a lot of shooting range. Seems like he uses his posts where they are effective, if that's mostly in the key, so be it. Rueck is not that different. Gulich hit plenty of mid range and even long jumpers (just inside the arc). Brown and Mitrovic will definitely take jumpers. Jones was supposedly working on her shooting range, but we've never seen it. I'm kind of suspecting shoulder issues have been hampering her for most of her career at OSU. Plus he's utilized a stretch 4 plenty of the time he's been there like Hunter and Corosdale, he doesn't always have 2 really tall posts on the floor together. Hamblin and Prince are very different players, on that I'll agree. But I think you tried oversimplifying on how the coaches use their post players. Gulich is maybe more of a model of what Prince should be shooting for, and she's lightyears away from where Marie was her final year in Corvallis. [/QUOTE]
