6-2 as a freshman?

...and probably still growing.

One hopes ... but few girls grow much after they get to high school.

Jayne Appel, though, was a big exception. She was 6-1 in eighth grade, 6-3 after high school and 6-4 in the pros. So you never know.

I think I remember the legend having Appel at 5'11" as a freshman then coming out of no where as a 6'4" sophomore suddenly putting up like 20 & 20 against the Paris Twins.

Of course I would go with Clay's account, though mine's more fun

Aja Wilson I believe also was a late growth spurt case. I think the stories were she was a 5'9" point guard in 8th or 9th grade who shot up to a 6'4" big with all those guard skills from before still in her bag

She still displays those skills as a pro..

BearBloke swears than Jenny Leander gained almost 3" at Cal (mid- to late '89s). Very tall females often do keep growing longer, so to speak.

in contrast, DeNesha Stallworth was a young post with very advanced moves/footwork but considered undersized in the post yet not quick enough to be a wing-forward.

But she had a skipped a grade so was even younger than her class year. I think she did end up growing a bit but not a spurt like the others mentioned

From Hoopgurlz as a prep:
"If she hits 6-3 she could blow up big time but even at 6-1 she is a very solid D-1 prospect."

Late growth does happen, rarely, but counting on it is a mistake, I think.

Basically a girl's height as a freshman in high school will be her height when she graduates from college.

Often true, so nothing to count on, but not a hard-and-fast rule; menarche (age of first period), diet and heredity are also factors.

Boys are a little bit different. David Robinson went to the Naval academy at 6'6", the talles you would be allowed into the academy. But he grew to 7'1" in college. That is a wowee!

Players that have late growth spurts tend to work on and develop skills rather than relying on their height. Chelsea Gray was a 5'6" freshman starting point guard on a pretty good St Marys team. she ended up 5'11" as a senior.

Probably former Cal football player, Kevin Swillis' daughter.

It is true that some girls grow during high school ... but the percentage is much, much lower than for boys.

Does anyone know if the coaching staff is in attendance for the Fiba U16 Americas Women's championship looking for possible 2023 recruits?

She apparently possesses the height, skills and attitude to play SF which is a position of need. Sign her up.

Certainly disqualified him from becoming a Naval Aviator and, maybe, a submariner.
