Two of UW's bigger players have really stepped up. Chantel Osahor, about 6'3" and wide, is a very odd player. She shoots the three flat-footed (like a free throw). Though lots of size, she can run the floor quite well. Has always been a great passing post, but she's been wreaking havoc on the boards. She was a key teammate of UConn's Courtney Ekmark in Arizona when they were the #1 team nationally. A lot of college coaches thought Courtney Walton (6'2" forward at Louisville) would be the better prospect than Osahor, as many teams didn't recruit Osahor b/c they worried about mobility and conditioning. But she's been great this tournament. She was always a fan favorite on the West Coast in HS.
Then Talia Walton, a senior or RS-sr, put up 30 points. 6'2" and has a power forward body, but always been a legit 3-point shooter. Not unheard of in HS, but definitely under the radar. IIRC, she was ranked just outside the top 100.
UW's Katie Collier started the McD's AA game as a 6'3" center. She was a top 25 recruit out of HS, but battled leukemia at the end of HS then tore her ACL. She was as real thoroughbred in HS, but understandably her potential has been inhibited, but she's holding her own playing most of the games and starting for UW.
#7 player from 2016 Destiny Slocum of Idaho committed early to UW before de-committing and picking Maryland. I'm sure that made the win over Maryland in round #2 extra sweet for UW.
