thanks for your article. charisma osborne had 55 points in ucla's 2 games. and she wanted to come to stanford. instead we took hannah jump, who had 2 points in our 2 games.

(i have nothing against hannah, who is and will be a good player. i just like charisma, who is and will be a star. it's a real head-scratcher that we didn't take charisma. imo she'd be starting now instead of lacie and giving us the 3rd scoring option we sorely lack)

I hear what you are saying about Osborne but if our team was healthy it would be Jones or Carrington starting in place of Lacie and Osborne would be on the bench.  Sometimes in recruiting we take the best available all around player (e.g. that is what Tara said about Jenna Brown) and sometimes you are recruiting for a need.  And I believe Tara felt she needed knock down 3-point shooting since our offense is so 3-point shooting heavy.  Osborne may be the better all around player but Jump is the better 3-point shooter (41% this season vs 33% for Osborne).
