Who is the tallest women's college basketball player? How does Clara Silva rank?

The tallest women's basketball to record a stat this year are all listed at 6'7". A handful of ladies are measured at that height, and Clara Silva is one of them. This puts her as tied as the tallest woman in college basketball, along with a handful of others. Let's look at that list.

All of these women college basketball players are listed at 6'7" and have recorded a stat in a game this year:

1. Kennedy Basham - Arizona State
2. Sedona Price - TCU
3. Clara Silva - Kentucky
4. Lauren Betts - UCLA

The list gets a bit longer when you jump into the 6'6" and 6'5" range, but these are the only four currently playing and logging stats who are listed at 6'7".

The season is still very young, and size doesn't always translate immediately to success, but it should surprise no one that it often does. As of the writing of this article, three of those four teams with a player listed at 6'7" are undefeated on the year: TCU, Kentucky, and UCLA. Arizona State has a winning record at 3-2 but is not on the same track as the other three right now.

For Kentucky fans, Silva is the only freshman on that list. Betts and Basham are juniors, while Price is a senior.

Silva has provided great depth off the bench and has shown an incredible shooting touch around the basket. As she continues to develop, get stronger, and adjust to the American game, she could be one of the top players in women's college basketball. She has already grown a lot in just the first few games, and her counterpart, Clara Strack, at 6'5", has helped show her how to be a top center/forward in the women's college game. Kentucky has a tall and long roster, and that has helped them in their recent success.
