Elliot Almond's media day article has this unpleasant news:

Stanford also limps into the season with five injured players -- Bonnie Samuelson, Taylor Greenfield, Sara James, Erica Payne and freshman Lili Thompson. None have practiced full time yet or played during a recent trip to Italy.

Does anyone know more about these players? What kinds of injuries?  How serious?

I'm sure that is not completely accurate. At the open practice, four of those players did work out on the side with the strength and conditioning coach instead of participating in the scrimmage. (Taylor played but perhaps was a little gimpy.) But I distinctly remember Lili Thompson appeared in the box score that the opponents made available of one of the games in Italy -- she was 2nd or 3rd high scorer.

Anyway, I'm hopeful that all the injuries are minor.

Hopefully Sara didn't get injured after the open practice. Also, as I was leaving I passed Lili's parents, who were telling someone she'll be fine for the start of the season. She, Erica P, Bonnie and Briana were on indoor bikes so hopefully issues are minor.

Oops, I didn't even notice the story listed Sara as injured. Of course she played in the scrimmage and looked fine, while Briana sat out.
