This is really great news, not just because Umeh is a top player (HG#28, ASGR#15, U17 national team member). The post position was a of immense proportions position of need for us with Betts’ transfer. Next year (‘24-‘25 season) we only have one true post player (Iriafen). With Umeh we have a second one and probably a different type of post vs Iriafen. Umeh appears to be more of a bigger, stronger more physical post presence whereas Iriafen relies more on her quickness and jumping ability.
Agree. Several other sites list Umeh at 6'4, including USA FIBA. With such uncertainty swirling around about Stanford's future alignment, this is such encouraging news. Tara and the Stanford brand still has the power to bring in high quality talent.

Personally, thought she looked remarkably powerful, with a strong build, good length, an assertive high motor, and impressively athletic and explosive for her size.
Per a November 2022 article, Kennedy was only receiving "interest" from Stanford at that time, thus, I'm curious if that means she has improved or if other posts higher Stanford's wish list didn't work out (i.e. Koval). But honestly, with her physical gifts, she certainly has the potential to be a major player for Stanford and maybe even surpass Koval in college.
2024 could be an exceptional class for Stanford! My hunch is Stanford quietly leads for #1 6'2"/6'3" forward Joyce Edwards (who led team USA with 12.6ppg at the U19 FIBA World Cup this summer as the youngest member of the team, and led the whole tournament with 63.2% FG).
Top 20 guard Mikayla Blakes has always seemed high on Stanford and had a great summer. Top 10 guard Jordan Lee also had a great summer and seems to have solidified herself in that top 10 echelon.
2025 Commit Hailee Swain fills the all-important point guard position which has been a nagging dilemma for Stanford. Then wing Jasmine Davidson looks like an absolutely superstar while Addison Deal looks like a stud and capable of contributing a ton wherever the team needs.
And don't get me starting on Mitty's 6'2" rising sophomore McKenna Woliczko... lol

Indeed, Tara and the Stanford brand still has the lure.
In a way, this reminds me of the ultimate WCBB powerhouse
that is UConn. Despite being relegated to the 2nd tier conference
AAC for several years, they were still able to attract the likes of
2015 #1 KL SAMUELSON and #6 N COLLIER
2016 #3 C DANGERFIELD
2017 #1 M WALKER
2018 #1 C WILLIAMS and #5 O NELSON-ODADA
2020 #1 P BUECKERS
2021 #1 A FUDD and #5 C DUCHARME
