Nice Article. Kind of an idea who's on her list now.

UCONN, Texas, LSU, Oklahoma, DUKE, Louisville, Baylor, Notre Dame.

Wonder if she will expand or condense her list after July.

Sherri has her foot in the door. She just needs to close the deal!

Her favorite, though, is two-time national college Player of the Year and six-time USA Basketball gold medalist Breanna Stewart of UConn.

“When you think about Connecticut, you think NCAA championships and Breanna Stewart,” Richards said. “I like everything about her and I want to play like her. She plays everywhere, she’s dominant everywhere. When (opponents) hear her name, they get scared. I would love to be able to have people think that way of me.”

With a statement like the above, Norm, do you REALLY think that we have a chance? Sadly, I think we wind up once more as one of the "considered" schools...

She can play like Stewart at OU.

I wonder if these kids ever look to see who will be on the team when they arrive? If you look at UConn's commits, there are several about 6-2, a wing at 5-10, and a guard at about 5-7. There are no posts as yet in the 2015-2018 classes. Texas is all about posts. Do you look to notice that they have a post and a point guard, but no wings like me?

Her best friend is Mulkey, I'm sure that's one reason she's giving OU a look...

Yep, that sure can't hurt!

Absolutely. With the success of the recruits we already have, I don't see any reason Didi can't do her thing as a Sooner. Either she will or she won't, it really ain't that big of a deal.

I have not seen Richards. So, I can't say anything about her. But, she has seen Mulkey. Mulkey won twice: 70-41 and 62-38. I think she has seen what it would be like to have Mulkey inside on her team.

If I were a potentially high-scoring wing, I might look at the fact that I had a post capable of generating a running game with her blocks and a point guard who was Freshman of the Year in the Big Twelve and a member of the national U-19 team. I would think that I might find a place to fit into a mix like OU has.
