We all saw how Stanford's size inside and length on the wing wore us down in March. So, getting "bigger" through offseason additions was going to be critical for our team if we expect to compete with "big" teams in South Carolina, Stanford, UConn and Tennessee (I'm sure there are few others with elite size).
While Faye still has a ways to go offensively (not as much as Femme, IMO), her natural instinct to block shots and her determination to rebound are hard skills to find these days, especially from a post player who can run the floor better than most players her size. If she commits to beating her player down the court on offense, she could be in for some uncontested transition layups.
One of the best things about Taylor Jones and Hadi Faye is that they have played for P5 programs; so, they've faced strong competition overall in their college careers. Iowa State's Stephanie Soares could end up being elite this season, but she played 4 seasons against NAIA opponents.
