She certainly has some speed. She ran a 57.87 in the 400 at the state meet last spring as a freshman.

6’0-6’1 lefty. Blew up during the summer while playing with All Iowa Attack. Very athletic and began making 3’s as the summer went on. Relentless rebounder who outjumps taller opponents. Stretch 4 will all kinds of upside. Played all summer with her age group, but I hear she will play with Attack top team this upcoming summer. That team includes Megan Meyer (Iowa commit) and 2020 target Caitlin Clark. I asked one of the Attack coaches about her (before she committed) and he said great kid with relentless work ethic. Always working to get better and a great teammate. Sounds like a solid, maybe under the radar, get.Can you provide any details on the type of player she is? Thanks.
Clark has always played up and this summer will be first time the two have been on same team, from what I can tell. Wetering’s verbal will have no influence on Clark.Does this help with Caitlin Clark? The play together for AIA
I may be behind times, but I thought the news ALWAYS had to come from the player.Per Jeff Linder tweet earlier today:
Women's basketball news to come at 6 p.m.
Here's what I can tell you. The Hawkeyes have a sophomore commitment, their first for the Class of 2020. She is an Iowan. As per her wishes, we are holding until 6 p.m. so she can tell other coaches of her decision.
Question for oakhawk, is Paula Valino Ramos redshirting this year?
He didn’t give any names and is respecting the recruit’s wishes. She does have a Twitter account so it is quite likely that she will announce her commitment prior to any news release by the Gazette or any other news organization. If she isn’t able to reach the coaches she wants to contact, then I imagine she could delay her announcement and the Gazette would delay their release. Just my thoughts on this.I may be behind times, but I thought the news ALWAYS had to come from the player.
Thank you, Oak.It can come from a player or from the media if she wants.
Yes, if she tells them. But it can't come from the school first, as I understood it, way back when TD was coach.It can come from a player or from the media if she wants.
True fact: Large hands are a great advantage in basketball—- like speed or jumping ability— note the length of Shateah’s finger! She will be a good one!
Girls typically reach their adult height between the ages of 14-15, unlike boys who can continue to grow even up into their college years. Girls mature at a much faster and earlier rate than boys. Shateah is most likely at her full height, especially given the growth spurt she just had.Note also the height of her dad in the other picture. Could she still be growing?
While this is typically true, all young adults (both male and female mature at different rates. Some mature earlier and some later. The question becomes whether Shateah is typical or a ‘late-bloomer’. It is impossible to know for sure but Shateah may have stopped growing taller or she could possibly still grow another inch or two. She is already much taller than her mother, so maybe she will be closer to her father. None of this really matters though as there are other more important factors that determine how good she can be in basketball. If she can handle the ball like a guard and shoot threes, she is well suited to play the three position.Girls typically reach their adult height between the ages of 14-15, unlike boys who can continue to grow even up into their college years.

That’s possible, Cyber, but it’s much more likely that she’s reached her max height. But I do agree that her basketball skills are more important than her height, which is already good for several positions. Her bball skills can only improve going forward whether or not she gets any taller.
Anyway, I was simply trying to reply to mphawk’s question based on what I know usually happens. My spouse teaches biology/genetics to girls at that age - and being familiar with girls at that age group through athletics (as a coach). They don’t usually get taller, especially after the 3 in. growth spurt that Shateah supposedly just had.
Since her mother was mentioned, and hands were mentioned in previous posts, did anyone catch her mother’s hands in that family photo? Very large! I haven’t seen her father’s hands as they aren’t shown, but her mother’s hands are huge given her height.
A very exciting prospect for us - we have a lot to look forward to!
The encouraging thing is despite the growth spurt she seems to have not lost any ability as sometimes happens. She runs the 100,200, and 400 yard dashes and plays volleyball. As she improves her skills she could become a very good player. As her AAU coach mentioned, a lot of upside.
Disagree. I like recruiting info separate.oakhawk, it's a new year so why don't we start a new thread on WBB and incorporate both the season and recruiting into one thread? Just my opinion, but one thread makes it easier for all of the info. Thanks!
