Standing next to the great South Carolina women’s basketball post players of recent years, Victaria Saxton isn’t exactly head and shoulders above anyone — literally.
At 6-foot-1, the incoming five-star freshman forward out of Rome, Georgia, checks in a few inches behind bigs like A’ja Wilson, Alaina Coates and Alexis Jennings.
Despite being slightly undersized, Saxton still has all the potential makings of an elite rebounder — a lanky frame with a long wingspan, explosive leaping ability that led to one analyst calling her a “747 on two legs” and perhaps most crucially, a nose for where the ball is going to be.
