Alex Green was ranked by HoopGurlz as the overall #49 best recruit, the 12th-ranked guard in her class. Curiously, she was listed on their site at 5'9", although when she's next to Amber or Jasmine (both 5'7"), it appears she's closer to 5'5" or 5'6". Chronologically, she was the last one in the 2013 class of six to be accepted by Stanford.

Amber was ranked #15, Taylor #31, Bonnie #61, Erica #78, and Jasmine #83.

Of course, the rankings can't tell you how well that player will perform in actuality, or how successfully that player will fit within the team framework. For perspective, here's some other senior-year (high school) rankings of Stanford WBB players:

Present roster: Chiney #1, Alyson #12 (was #6 before her ACL in her senior year), Mikaela #16, Sara #18, Toni #60 (!!!), Tess unranked (outside of top 100, but rated as 15th at post position [versus overall]); Kiran and Denia both unranked and unlisted by position.

2013 recruits: Erica McCall #11, Kailee Johnson #20, Karlie Samuelson #77, walk-on Brianna Roberson unranked (but 57th at guard position), and Khaliya "Lilly" Thompson unranked (but 61st at point guard position).

Selected past players, for comparison: Jane Appel #3, Nneka #6, Joslyn #10, Kayla # in the "teens," Jeannette # in the high-30's (!!!).

2014 recruiting picture: Brianna Turner #3, Imani Littleton #38, Olivia Ogwumike unranked (but rated 22nd at forward position).
