Thought it would be useful to review the UConn situation for the 2016 recruits.  They will have as many as five scholarships unless they recruit more than expected in 2015.  The players that their own media report they are recruiting are:

Lauren Cox, mentioned above
Natalie Chou, mentioned above
Erin Boley, mentioned above
Jackie Young ESPN 21, a 5'22 11" guard, mentioned above


Tori McCoy, ESPN 5, a 6'4" forward
Nancy Mulkey, a 6'9" (not a typo, and she is still growing) center out of Texas.
Crystal Dangerfield, the top point guard of 2016.
Sabrina Ionescu, the top combo guard of 2016.  Sabrina is a 5'11" guard from Walnut Creek who made the U16 team.  I presume we are checking her out carefully.  I cannot find anything about her academic or college preferences, other than a checklist that indicates that Stanford is one of 22 teams (including virtually the entire Pac12) that have expressed interest.

The offer list is lengthy for Ionescu, but includes Maryland, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Florida, Ohio State, Arkansas, Purdue, Oregon, UCONN, Duke, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisville, Cal, Stanford, Washington, Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, UCLA, USC and Oregon State. However, she plans to be patient with her decision, she said.

UConn and Stanford look to be going head to head even more than usual for the 2016 class.  UConn won't win all the decisions--KLS was something of an exception to the rule that women who get in to Stanford usually choose us over them.  Furthermore, UConn simply will not have enough scholarships for all the players they reputedly are courting in 2016.  Other schools will be involved, but I am optimistic that at least a couple of these outstanding girls will be coming to Stanford to join Anna Wilson.
