Tallest woman to play college basketball

[uconnfan68]

Is waiting for eligibility to play for Texas Tech. She's a 7'1" Nigerian. Anyone ever see her play? She was in Japan for high school.

There is some video of her on the general women's board.
I was fully expecting to see a very, very raw player. Frankly I was more
than surprised to see some nice inside moves...and a nice touch from close-in.
Granted it was just highlights and granted it did not show her running the court but
...imo...she looked like she has serious potential...how long from that....don't know.

Thanks for the tip. Just watched and she can chew gum and walk, but not sure about lots of running.

One web site reported that she was 7'0" with an estimated 7' 4"
wingspan. Stephanie Okechukeu is from Nigeria. The video that was reported show her rebounding over the head of everyone without having to leave her feet. She
does not have to "jump" to make a shot and, of course, she
dunks effortlessly. Alot remains to be determined but she is
with Texas Tech who is undefeated, (along with UCONN,
Texas, and Vanderbilt). Texas Tech is 16 - 0 in the Big 12.

I know the focus is on the recent addition at Texas Tech, but had to post this somewhere. Like wow.
