Ziegler, Agara, Fournier, Pierce are 6'2"...and?

Kilah Freelon is 6'1. A "big" is a forward or post who typically plays effectively around the basket. Elizabeth Kitley is 6'6". Cameron Brink is 6'4 Lauren Betts is 6'7" Cardoso is 6'7" Aallyah Edwards at USC/WNBA - 6'3" Aliyah Boston - 6'5" Of course, there are not going to be many 6'5" or taller players out there that are good. Middle TEnnessee State has a 6'6" player. Kansas State had a 6'6" player. These discussions always seem to devolve into: - If you say we need a "big", some fans think you are saying (a) we just need any big, even a bum or (b) we need another Kitley. - When people say we need size, we need QUALITY size. And yes, 6'2" is size. You can include those players from Duke, NC State, Louisville, and Stanford because those are players who have the size, length, athleticism to score, rebound on offense, defend, and be difference makers around the basket against other quality forward and centers - We need quality who can compete against the 6'2 and taller good players that top 25 teams have ** Edited by VAHokie89 at 2/4/2026, 7:40:36 PM

Everyone wants one, but a dominant big would be so helpful right now.**
KiloZulu 02/03/26 08:23 PM ET
A "quality" inside/big would be nice. Not too many dominant.**
VAHokie89 02/04/26 03:58 PM ET
We all focus on"big", athleticism is first and foremost in my book
1977hokie 02/03/26 09:29 PM ET
We had two bigs that were not athletic,we know how that worked out**
mrknowitall 02/04/26 05:04 PM ET
Sigh.. people who call for bigs don't want bums as bigs
VAHokie89 02/04/26 06:42 PM ET
We need size. We have athleticism
VAHokie89 02/04/26 09:44 AM ET
Baker doesn’t “get beat on any drive”
hokiepro 02/04/26 11:38 PM ET
Yes, she does. She runs alongside eith her hands up
VAHokie89 02/05/26 07:41 AM ET
Getting beat to me means “scored on”
hokiepro 02/05/26 09:50 AM ET
No it does not. Played can ge beaten but the offensive player blows
VAHokie89 02/05/26 02:53 PM ET
We’re top 12 in FG eff defense & she plays 30+ mpg
hokiepro 02/05/26 03:43 PM ET
As I said, taller yes, but don’t sacrifice athleticism, the quality Teams

hokiepro 02/03/26 08:47 PM ET
Saying there are 6 or so quality bigs will be among 64 tourney teams?**
Va AandM 02/04/26 06:01 AM ET
There is a difference between "quality" and "dominant"
VAHokie89 02/04/26 09:53 AM ET
This discussion make Luz and Strachey sound like black swan events **
Va AandM 02/04/26 01:26 PM ET
No, just naming a few

thunar 02/05/26 10:39 AM ET
Not really, If that was the case, baker and freelon would be
VAHokie89 02/05/26 11:05 AM ET
ROFL. So now your switching to Freelon and Baker?
thunar 02/05/26 12:16 PM ET
I did not call Baker a big. now you are just arguing for argument's sake
VAHokie89 02/05/26 02:45 PM ET
ROFL. I said average true bigs.
thunar 02/13/26 03:39 PM ET
Yawn. I listted posts/forwards they played against
VAHokie89 02/13/26 04:18 PM ET
i said literally an average true big.
thunar 02/15/26 10:30 AM ET
Kitley isn't 6ft 2in, she's 6ft.6in.**
dubnic2roxy1 02/04/26 07:36 PM ET
That was a typo. I knew it was 6'6" but I guess had 6'6" on the brain. Thx**
VAHokie89 02/04/26 07:40 PM ET
Fournier**
Lefthand2II 02/03/26 09:55 PM ET
Indeed, Coach Duffy and her staff are doing a great job!**
