At 6-9, Esko center Savanna Trapp is quite an obstacle for opponents daring to shoot near the basket. UCLA expects her to eventually do big things for the Bruins.

She sounds like a well anchored young woman. She is a lot more than tall!

typical Coach B move but given Borton's track record coaching tall players, Trapp probably made the right decision. Coach B has shown time and time again that she doesn't know how to teach post skills or game plan for a tall post. Just a waste, though...

There was a Dakota woman who lived in 1853 that was 6'11" and had a mean right hook.

She apparently wanted to play somewhere where they had a decent coach.

Savannah, even with a year of redshirt, would not be able to obtain the bulk necessary to play in the Big Ten. The conference is just way to physical and she'd be pushed around mercilessly by the bigger posts. On top of that, I don't think the U of M has a Marine Biologist program.
