Everybody's in that purgatory right now. UConn has won three championships in a row and seven out of nine. Even Brittney Griner managed to interrupt the Huskies only once in her four years. So, yes, we do not have the best program in the county country, a distinction we share with 350 other schools.

True, right now UConn is a step above everyone else or maybe two steps, but UConn does have a roster limit and last time I checked, they can only start 5 players at one time like everyone else.  Not every top recruit can go there and then not everyone can start, so the other programs do have a chance of getting other top recruits.

But it is an interesting point that Stanford may be caught between UConn and the programs that want to make a name for themselves for the 1st time, but still I think that Stanford's combination of a highly successful program and an elite education should be a stronger selling point than it is.
