ESPN does not have Billings, Nared, or Rice listed as considering Stanford, but they do have Littleton listed. Do you have information that we are in the running for the Billings or Nared or Rice?
As for Canada, perhaps we did not have an inside track, but she did list Stanford as one of the schools she was interested in, and as you pointed out her coach at Windward is Vanessa Nygaard--which I hoped would have helped a bit. But I don't know about her academics or her local connections that may have been influential in her decision.
After next season we will graduate Sara, Toni, and Chiney. Mikaela too, although not sure if she will be taking up a scholarship. That will leave 3 slots to fill with the class of 2014, and it looks like we will need guards more than any other position that year.
By the way, the Stanford website now has up a "returning roster" of the team and Ruef is officially listed, and none of the walk-ons, leaving just 12 players. Meanwhile, we have five players coming in--McCall, Johnson, Samuelson, Thompson, and Roberson. If Roberson is officially a walk-on, that must mean that Ruef is not taking an athletic scholarship to make it add up to 15. But then why is she listed as a returning player when the other walk-ons (Ebersole, Lakhian) are not? A bit confusing.
