I can think of a great number of football players. But, basketball players all seem to have been stars on their team. Some were not expected to do as well as they did because of where they came from. I think Nyesia and Danielle both were very raw when they came to OU.
Doug English made a statement once something to the effect that a Blue-Chipper is the guy who is fully-grown at fifteen and won't get any bigger, quicker, or stronger. He said the guy that makes it in the pros is often the kid who was a bit awkward until he was a senior or a freshman in college. I'm reminded of John Goodman, recruited as a 6-5, 190 TE, played pro ball as a 6-5, 265 DT for Pittsburgh.
The one that was most this way as a girl that I can remember was Griner. She was not nearly as adept as a freshman as she was later. She became more in control. I wonder if we won't find that with Nancy.
