BTW- for what it's worth, Jones's twitter account has liked both the PAC-12 Network's tweet about having 5 WBB teams in the AP Top 20 this week, and also our WBB twitter account's tweet about Lacie having made 7 steals in a game - the first time a Stanford women's player has done that since Candice Wiggins in 2007. And also a Bol Bol highlight from the Oregon game. Nothing I can see that's UConn or Domer related.

I do wonder about this: sure, signing UConn is a big deal for any number one recruit, but it's not entirely clear to me if it's that noteworthy. UConn has had the ESPN no. 1 recruit three of the last four years (Williams in 2018, Walker in 2017, and KLS in 2015 - plus no. 3 Dangerfield in 2016). To my best recollection, none of those players had quite such a big event for it. I also feel somehow like if she wants her classmates and school to be part of it, that it would be a place you'd think they might also be invested in - i.e., somewhere local, or at the very least west coast. I could be totally wrong about that, and I think you're right that hyping it up has much more of a UConn flavor to it, but I guess it just seems like it would be a much bigger news story if she signed with us or Oregon than with UConn, because if it's UConn, it's simply another year, another no. 1 recruit. Nothing that new here.

But I suppose we'll find out in 24 hours.
