Four years ago, a question went around about the Big 12 concerning Oklahoma freshman Courtney Paris. How in the world was anybody going to stop her?

Sure, Paris took some criticism about her fitness as her career progressed. But the bottom line is that she still finished with more points than anyone in Big 12 history and more rebounds (and double-doubles) than anyone in Division I history.

Which brings us to the player who'll make her official college debut Sunday on a stage that for women's basketball is akin to what the Grand Old Opry is for country music.
