And she's yet to grow into her body from the looks of it. WOW.

 

[Veteran]

She's a foot taller than me and probably still growing taller. I'm growing, too, but it's strictly wider.

Sigh......

 

[Next 12]

She may be the first 6' 10" player in women's BB. Surely she will grow another 3"'s in 3-4 more years. May Catherine want to come to Uconn.She would be a stand out with Geno's and CD's coaching.

It appears that when she was 11 years old, she was 6' 5" & considered to be the tallest WBB player in Ghana.

The 11-year-old is a central player at Charm Basketball Academy in Ghana, with a dream of becoming a global star in her field.

With a height of 6'5/196 cm, newly discovered Catherine Maame Serwaa Banahene is fast becoming an online sensation as a female basketball player. Read on YEN.

But her crossover needs a lot of work!

Geno and CD won't be coaching anymore by the time she would reach college.

I think she has time to improve

Margo Dydek was 7'2".

 

[HuskyNan]

Margo Dydek was 7'2".

There was a 6-10 kid at Georgetown too

 

[Blakeon18]

Stony Brook? Wonder if she will...somehow...wind up at Christ The King...national
program...great schedule?

 

[Carnac]

It doesn’t matter. Head coach Jeff Walz (Louisville) offered her 2 years ago and probably has the inside track.

 

[Blakeon18]

She will graduate from college in about 10 years. Heck,,,Geno is 68...78 sounds like a good year for retiring.

She has another 7 to 12 years of growing. She'll be banned from WCBB or the W, certainly from the NBA.

No, her body has yet to grow into her legs! I hope she hasn't been teased to death.

Now that my friends is a functional dunk.

Just to pile on... Bernadette Hatar of the CT Sun is 6'10 also.

And God forbid she eventually ends up at Stony Brook University. What a waste that would be. (FYI 2 of my kids graduated from Stony Brook. At the time the out of state rate for Stony Brook was about the same as the in state rate for UConn.)

Don’t forget Bubbles Anderson who was listed at 6’11, but had one of the shortest collegiate careers (in terms of games played) due to knee injuries.

Being tall doesn’t always someone will be a great basketball player. Suzy Bendegue, the 6-10 player from Georgetown, averaged 2.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, and .7 blocks a game in the 2 years she played. Bendegue’s teammate, 6-3 Rebekah Brunson, was a vastly superior player that had a long and distinguished career in the WNBA.

I did find the below video on high schooler Azzi on Bendegue’s Twitter page, though. Azzi’s mom Katie Smyrka Duffy also played for Georgetown

Stony Brook has been investing in their sports programs, so you never know. Stranger things have happened.

 

[Blueberries]

I sincerely hope her health is okay at that size and age. That has to be a huge toll on internal organs growing to that size so early if ever.

 

[Steelerone]

Are we trying to achieve what men's basketball has been doing for so many years? Lionizing Jr. High Schooler's instead of allowing them to be kids.
