Yes, we are on an upward trend. Compare our class rankings over the past 5 seasons:
2015: NR
2016: 9th (4 players)
2017: 5th (4)
2018: 10th (3)
2019: 2nd (4)
Indeed, in the entire span of 2016-19, we had only three recruits who weren't ESPN Top 100 - Brewer and Jerome (both Canadian), and Lacie (who just matched the best single-game steals number since Candice Wiggins in 2007 six games into her frosh year). Tara will have a deep bench and will be able to wear teams down with the Princeton, a lot of ball movement, and rotation changes that will make it hard to scout against us. We also have a lot of highly athletic players coming in - much more than Stanford usually gets. I really really can't wait to see Jones dish an alley oop to Bellibi off a fast break. You know they're going to try it. (Jones said as much in one of her interviews).
