The Red Raiders have signed 7-footer Stephanie Okechukwu, multiple sources familiar with her recruitment confirmed to USA Today. The towering center from Nigeria has a reported 7-foot-4 wingspan. Whether Okechukwu will be eligible to play immediately depends on NCAA approval.

If she can seriously play Texas Tech probably just bought a WBB championship.

She is 8 inches taller than Ciera and 9 inches taller than Nyla H.

Hopefully she can't run like that giant at Florida MBB.

That is a tall young lady. We know that NIL money was involved with her signing. Hopefully, she is not fast running up and down the court. I would try running when she was in the game first. We had huge center piece for them.

I don't like this trend. College BB is starting to resemble Pro BB more, and more!

College basketball is minor league now.

Really complicates team building doesn't it?
You never know what you are going to have on your roster until after portal season.
