Joeseta Fatuesi

[SoonerNorm]

I just added Fatuesi to the Prospect Board. She is a large girl who can play. To me, she is somewhat of a combo of Courtney Paris and Danielle Adams. Take a look at and post your thoughts about her.

Norm,
Will be interesting to see if OU is serious on Fatuesi.
Mobility to keep up with all the speed at guard/wing is a question.

She would be dominant under the boards.

It has been reported she currently weighs 270 lbs. If she could lose some weight and get in the 220-225 range, I think she would be pretty mobile. I realize losing weight for some is very difficult and she might not ever get there but, I think with 15 ships, I would be willing to use one of them to take a chance on her. Redshirt her the first year and have her concentrate on conditioning and I think you might have a jem for the next 4 years. I agree with Syb, she can definitely rebound and she has some skills you can't teach.

Joesetta hits a three?

When her name was first brought up, I googled her and found one scouting service that listed her among the top thirty prospects nationally. I can't find that now. There was quite a bit of difference in their list and that of Prospect Nation, with only about five players on both.

She is Samoan. I'm not sure that she would ever be 225. She seems quick enough, but does lag behind on getting down the court. Since I don't know here competition, I have no idea how good of a prospect she might be. She is intriguing. I figure this is up to Sherri. You never know. One dominant interior player with all these guards might be useful.

Fatuesi committed to Utah on her visit.
