Has anyone noted that Ashton broke her hand in their final game of the season?
The recruiting article on the FB website mentioned it

From the Chron:
Stanford women’s basketball will have an embarrassment of riches next season.
The future is bright!

yes excited for next year already. BTW, transfer threads on other sites indicate Marta in the transfer portal (presumably means grad school at least partially paid for -- good for her and we appreciate her contribution while playing and while otherwise leading).

Fran Belibi and Haley Jones have made the 5-member USA Today high school all-american team. Ashten Prechtel made the 3rd team. Congrats!

In other news, the USA basketball 3-on-3 teams to compete for a national championship have been announced. Each team has 4 members to allow for a sub.
Haley Jones is on a strong looking team with some well known players who are going elsewhere. Another team has three Stanford commits.

Hull sisters will be fine. They did things as frosh that you seldom see in terms of all around defense, quick and sure hands, quick to loose balls, pulling out contested rebounds, fundamentals such as eyes on opponent's waist to gauge where the opponent is going, ability to take defenders on drives if they play tight, good overall shooting from all areas on the court, ability to make assists. Where they need to improve is like one poster said, shoot their arms off in the off season to avoid streaky shooting; and work on their handles so they can penetrate easier.

Hulls did fine for being frosh. Their game will improve, and they will be in the rotation for the next 3 years if not starting.
The one that is worrisome is Brown. I don't think she performed up to expectations. If anybody would decide to transfer out, she'd be the prime candidate in my uninformed opinion.

Here I was hoping she’d work hard during the summer. Still hope that is the case but based upon theory of an under classman transferring then either her or Moschkau and presumably Moschkau accepted her role a while ago?

Based on this Tara quote from the Chron sited earlier:
Blending all these talents will be a major challenge. VanDerveer hasn’t had a team this deep in many years, if ever. She warns not to discount guards Anna Wilson and Jenna Brown and forward Alyssa Jerome. “They’re smart; they’re Stanford students,” she said. “They know it’s going to be very competitive. The returners have a better sense of how hard you have to work to get ready for a Notre Dame or a Baylor. I’m confident the freshmen are going to be in a battle, a big battle.”
Tara is not expecting Wilson or Brown or Jerome to transfer. Who did she not mention? Sniezek, Moschkau, Brewer. Of course, one never knows if the reporter left out things she DID say and made it look like an omission when she may have talked about each and every player. The article does mention Dodson, Fingall, Williams, Carrington, and Hulls earlier.

I'm not sure I see Tara's statement as precluding one of those players from transferring. For one thing, if they're smart and competitive and know what it takes, that might also mean they're willing to transfer someplace else to get more playing time. Brewer and Wilson I don't see because they have too much invested and why would you give up a Stanford degree for one year? And they seem like two of our most committed players. Plus, neither of them, nor Sniezek, opens up a fifth recruiting spot for the 2020 recruiting class, as BobK hinted. So that means it would have to be either Brown, Moschkau, or Jerome. I could be wrong, but both Moschkau and Jerome never seemed like their recruiting profiles suggested they thought they'd be starting much before their senior years. Brown, on the other hand, could very well want more playing time elsewhere, and with the multitude of shooting guards and wings we have and have coming in, may feel like Williams is likely to occupy the PG role for the foreseeable future. That's more or less the only position where there can be only one. So if I had to guess, I'd guess it would be her.
Hopefully this is idle speculation and it's no one. I like our team just the way it is, and I think Brown has a lot of potential if she can work on her confidence shooting outside.

Where did you find the news?
Well, it is good for WBB, good for her academic degree. And if we found a way to beat them this year, I think we can find a way to beat them next year.
I do confess to thinking and hoping a little that she would leave, but I'm going to be consistent with my principles and praise her for this decision. If Oregon had gone on and won a national championship, I wonder if she would still come back?

Well, she said she had "unfinished business". That might provide a clue.
Then again she could have been talking about her degree.............

I agree, Ionescu returning is good for Women’s Basketball, Pac-12 and of course, Oregon and hopefully Sabrina.
In the Baylor game something happened at the end. It’s the time she generally takes over a game but she didn’t. They could have and should have won. But she dissapeared. She had open 3s but didn’t shoot. She seemed scared or tired. She was not fearless. She made several bad passes seeming to want to pass the ball and put the game in someone else’s hands instead her own.
