Muffet immediately cashing in on N.D.'s national title with a of exceedingly large proportions recruit for the Irish.

I hope both Amihere and Jones will look to our program and see teaming up with Kiana, Maya, the Hulls and Jenna Brown, along with a Stanford degree as their preferred path.

I know we have commits, like Van Gytenbeek in 2020 and Anna Wilson previously, signaling their intent very early on, but may this be a good sign that Amihere and Jones haven't chosen any school yet and may be waiting to finish up their junior year academics to see if they can get admitted to Stanford before deciding?

Just trying to find any potentil good signs

I would also think that anyone who had suffered an ACL would think Stanford was an even better deal.  Playing in the WNBA or elsewhere is not assured, even for the most talented players--as anyone who has had a serious injury knows.  Just ask Aly Beebe, who graduated in HumBio in 2016.  Or ask Chiney--whose professional career has been marred by injury, but who can choose from a variety of wonderful career options whenever basketball is over.  A Stanford degree is far more valuable, far more certain, and far more durable than an athlete's fragile body.  Players who have been injured should know this better than those who still believe they are indestructable.
