Ok here ya go.

The issue is when you have an athletic 6'2" they always have issues with taller players . See Agara against UNC and their last game against Cal etc. OR Ziegler against Miami, NC State,, and SC etc And Khamil PIERRE plays alongside Trygger who is 6'6" so their team has a big so she can do what she does. Fournier is a rarity. A blue chipper that was highly recruited. She can two hand slam with little effort. No one else in the ACC and NCAA can do that. Only two others can do it in the WNBA. An Average 6'5" will beat your "big" your describing all day everyday unless the 6'2" is able to drop 3's or deep midrange consistently. That would allow for a face up and blow by to get to the rim. And they would need to be able to jump out the gym to help with the rebounding and defense. ** Edited by thunar at 2/5/2026, 10:42:43 AM

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
1977hokie • 02/04/26 10:38 AM ET
Can you name how many dominant Bigs there are in Womens BB or even the ACC?**
UTPr0sim • 02/03/26 08:25 PM ET
Toby Fornier, Khamil Pierce, Laura Ziegler, Agara
VAHokie89 • 02/04/26 09:52 AM ET
UCLA has one, UCONN, Texas & Oklahoma do
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
hokiepro • 02/04/26 08:53 AM ET
And in the ACC? **
UTPr0sim • 02/03/26 08:54 PM ET
Pierce, Ziegler, Agara**
VAHokie89 • 02/04/26 09:53 AM ET
None of those ladies are above 6'2"
thunar • 02/04/26 03:07 PM ET

VAHokie89 • 02/04/26 03:57 PM ET
Ok here ya go. ◄
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!**
