Good pic for a height argument.

Good pic for a height argument.

Well I looked up USA Basketball and they have :

KLS at 6'3"
Boykin at 6'2"
Collier at 6'1"
From this picture I don't give those measurements much credence. Looks like Collier and Boykin are within a 1/4 inch of each other and maybe 2" shorter than KLS.
We shall see....All three are "lanky". They all should add muscle in the next 5 years.

Suspect they are standing on a slope...the window mullions won't be sloping the same as the feet...

Obvious question: I wonder how Katie's health is? It's been about 6 weeks or so...is she now 100% over her tonsillitis?
Has she regained the weight she lost?

Hope USABasketball keeps a close eye on her during the workouts.

First game is Saturday....hope we get some Boneyard wisdom from the online broadcasts....they will exist, won't they?

Six weeks for tonsillitis for a 17 year old elite athlete? I think she'll be just fine.

Nice piece on the event with new quotes:

I cannot lie. I LOVE these pics of these girls. I think its great when future recruits already have a kind of "closeness" before they begin their journey! Its such a big advantage for these ladies to already be playing together. Especially against elite international competition. Great photos ladies!
