Stephanie Okechukwu, the tallest player in the history of women’s college basketball. The 7-foot-1 center has arrived in Lubbock and will join the Lady Raiders as a midseason addition, pending final NCAA eligibility clearance.
“Stephanie has finally arrived in Lubbock and she was worth the time, effort and teamwork that went into getting her here,” head coach Krista Gerlich said. “She brings an element to our team that is an instant impact. Her ability to protect the rim and alter shots will be unique to one. She has great hands and touch around the basket and clearly will provide a big inside target at the rim. She has a team-first mentality and ready to contribute in any way possible. She is a great fit for our program and culture, and we are overjoyed that she has arrived in Lubbock. Our staff is continuing to work with the NCAA on her initial eligibility.”
Okechukwu, a native of Umunneochi, Nigeria, brings a rare physical profile to the collegiate game. At 7-foot-1 with a reported 7-foot-4 wingspan, she becomes the tallest player ever signed in NCAA women’s basketball history, surpassing the previous mark held by 6-foot-10 Abbie Boutilier.

Never heard of "her", but for some reason, I've been seeing a lot about some female Chinese basketball player all over the socials. That big bitch is like 7'6" IIRC.

Texas Tech really does the NIL thing well. Football, softball, now girls basketball. Plenty of oil money to go around I guess.

A 7'1 Nigerian who went to high school in Japan totally qualifies to play college basketball.
