Same old, same old in 2015-2016

Notre Dame will move up two spots, right behind Baylor, which will be at #2. Baylor will have a tremendous PG in Johnson, top off-guards in Alexis Jones and Kristy Wallace, AA performer Nina Davis at the 3/4, along with Alexis Prince, and an incredibly deep post presence with Brown, Mompremier, Cave, Cohen and Higgins. IMO, this is the be accumulation of talent that Mulkey has ever had to work with. And the following season may be even stronger, especially if we land Cox.

Kalani Brown is listed as 6'7" on Baylor team roster. Typo?

Probably. Well maybe she grew over the summer. Unless Baylor switch sneakers. Everyone knows Nikes are .2087 inches taller than UnderArmour. Wait......is that height with or without sneakers? Is it possible Baylor got her confused with her father. I think PJ was listed at 6'7" when he played for the Heat. But PJ didn't go to Baylor so I not sure why Baylor would be so easily confused. Then again the last picture I saw of Kalani with Geno she was definitely taller than Geno. It has been established the Geno is taller Bria Hartley so using that inverse transitive property 6' 7" is within the possible range of probable error for her true height. And as Bill Russell would say " Can she Play? "

Baylor has its deepest roster ever next year (not best--but deepest.) There are a lot of moving parts, if Kim can get them to all click it could be a special season for the Bears. I'm interested to see how Davis/Jones play together and how the incoming freshmen posts perform. Remember that Jones was the #3 recruit in 2012, right after Jefferson and Stewart and before Loyd. She'll be a player to look out for this upcoming season.

I had noticed that. Baylor does not have a reputation of fudging the heights of its players and BG was always listed as 6'8" although her father was quoted several times as saying that she was 6'9". BG is now listed as 6'9" on the Phoenix Mercury roster. I am guessing that Brown is a legit 6'7", not that 6'7" makes her any more effective than 6'6".

I hope she's great and take the LV's to the Title game against UConn

That's just sick man. Have you no self respect?

Brown is huge and will be able to overpower most of the teams she plays against. However, against the top teams, Baylor might be better with Mompremier at center. She will allow Baylor to play at a faster pace than Brown will.

I agree and I think Mompremier will be a better college player than Brown due to her athleticism. From the footage I've see she is going to be an Ogwumike type of performer. She can finish with either hand so she can play on either side of the basket. I am super excited about her!

The first 10 Google results I got for "Kalani Brown Height" included six 6'6", three 6'5" and one 6'4" (the 6'4" was from high school, but so were some of the others)

So she's like 19'3"?

(oh wait, avg, not sum)

Don't think average works either. I'm gonna guess a legit 6'5" in stocking feet but no commercially available shoes that would get her to actually measure 6'7"

A pair of Christian Louboutin pumps would put her at 6'9", but if I were Kalani I would go with the Bottega Veneta's.

OK according to my precise calculations:

Manolo Blahnik Hangisi Flats ($955): 6' 5-1/2"
Manolo Blahnik Hangisi 50 ($965): 6' 7"
Manolo Blahnik Hangisi 70 ($965): 6' 7-3/4"
Manolo Blahnik Hangisi 105 (965): 6' 9-1/4"

Notre Dame, Florida State, Duke, Louisville, Syracuse, Miami all should be better than the sheep down I-40 East. Perhaps NC State, UVA as well.

It's all a second rate conference anyway.
