That Boneyard thread was a fun read, Comp87. My favorite quotes from that thread:
"Terribly disappointing. Stanford may be a contender again in the near future."
"Stanford has continued to be a strong program throughout VanDerveer's tenure. To me they haven't had a truly elite player since Chiney left. They might finally have one again in Brink. Also I think Lexie Hull is going to be a terrific player for the Cardinal."
"Stanford has been getting elite talent from Oregon for years; not surprised. If a West region player prioritizes academics and is an elite athlete, Stanford is the #1 choice in that area (in just about all sports). if offered."
"Imagine Brink , Haley Jones and HVL all choosing stanford!" (HVL = Hailey Van Lith 2020 point guard)
"Great get for Tara. If she can haul in 1-2 other elite players, we could see Stanford back as a title contender like they were from 2008-2012 when she had several top 5 kids on her teams (Ogwumikes, Pederson, Appel, Wiggins, etc.)"
"Who's helping Coach T out in recruiting? There's some serious action going on the ranch.....and Ms. Jones has yet to make her decision."
Then there were a couple of pages of comments on whether Brink should or shouldn't be compared with Breanna Stewart.
