Cox is definitely out:

That leaves the following as potential recruits we have mentioned here that have not been ruled out:
Anna Wilson (committed)
Natalie Chou.Â
I can't find anything recent on her that discloses her preferences. She is being pursued by pretty much everyone.
Dijonai CarringtonÂ

Celeste WestÂ
(Says she is "wide open."Â Has a 4.3.)

Aislinn Konig (Canada)
I can't find anything recent. She has played in Washington State quite a bit. We were on her list in January.

Alex Sharp (Australia)
I can't find a thing
Now, why is recruiting suffering? I found this quote interesting from the Merc article:
I take that to mean that our standards really are lowered somewhat for football but not for women's basketball. And we need to keep in mind that Stanford's rigorous academic standards have actually shot through the roof to ridiculous levels for all students lately. Last year we admitted 5%. Just four years ago it was 7.5%. In 2006 it was 12.7%. In the 1980s-1990s it was 15-20%. It is twice as hard to get in as it was just 10 years ago, four times as hard as when Tara started.

Quote:"Kinnebrew has two top players and students who would like to attend Stanford. He's not sure either will gain admittance. One is Dijonai Carrington, a 6-foot junior shooting guard/small forward from San Diego....Kinnebrew, who sent Pac-12 player of the year Reshanda Gray to Cal, said Stanford has gone overboard "for the sake of being the most selective school. "There have been kids rejected at Stanford who have been wonderful and accomplished women."

Quote:A lot has been made of football coaches working with admissions to upgrade recruits without sacrificing academics.But the women's basketball team remains held to Stanford's rigid acceptance standards. Cardinal coaches can only consider about five of the top 100 high school players, VanDerveer said.
"I can get a kid into an Ivy school so much easier than to Stanford," said Elbert Kinnebrew, who runs an elite AAU program in Long Beach.
