You better Belibi it

[Shades]

It’s the dunking in a game at age 15 that put Belibi on everybody’s radar. VanDerveer knew what she was getting when she pursued her. Why would she put a bridle on that?

Belibi does an under the basket reverse dunk in practice.

Talk about winning the genetic lottery. For people who've seen a lot of her, do you think she's underranked at #23 by HG? With the late start to basketball and the athleticism she has, I'd think her upside is huge. Especially at Stanford.

I don’t think Stanford’s class is better than South Carolina’s... at least this point in time. The strength of Stanford’s recruiting is that the talent is spread out over classes so not everyone needs to be a standout. For example, Jump might not play a huge role her freshman or sophomore years, but could be a marksman her final years, ala Rappahahn (how’s that for a CT reference ).

Agreed, Tara has done well in that regard which should pay dividends down the road.

Belibi doesn’t plan on playing basketball professionally, but I’ve heard that before.

And that’s a high school game! You can’t can’t even see a play like this in the women pros.

Wow. She has no peer in the dunk game.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Dang, that is a nice throw down!

love it

In time, women dunking will be a common occurrence.
10 years ago, pretty much no one could dunk. These days, several teenagers every year can do it.

At the very end they say she has a 7th grade sister who can almost dunk.

Fran is very exciting. She definitely fits the Nerd Nation profile (in a good way). After watching the McD's game, I think she should dunk whenever she can, because her layups were a little wild. But she has been playing only 4 years. Her upside is unknown, but very high.

Well, it's not OT but it isn't UConn ball, so what is it? Just wanna understand the new boundaries.

As mentioned previously, the rule about posting non-UConn threads on the main board is relaxed in the off season

I am enlightened. Brace yourselves!

I don’t mind if Nan moves this thread to the General Forum. This thread was started long before the General Forum existed. Why make a new thread when you can post in an old thread that applies? This is a Belibi fan thread.

I’d pay to see her play in person. You know she’s going to dunk in multiple games. How many dunks will she have next season?
