Was there any mutual interest between Sabrina and Stanford when she was a recruit?

I recall all the buzz about Shoni a year or two before, but don't recall any buzz about Sabrina. What was her recruiting rank. Amazing that she may end up with 2500+ points, 1200+ assists, and 1100+ rebounds (How many steals does she have?) with a potential 9 games to go in her collegiate career.

On a recent PAC-12 WCBB podcast, the announcers mentioned that Lindsay Gottlieb was dead to rights certain Sabrina was going to go to Cal - her final three were Cal, OSU, and Oregon. As Bob said, was not to be for us. Ionescu was not as hyped then as she is now, by a long stretch. But she was definitely one of the top recruits of her cycle; she settled on a short list of those West Coast schools relatively early, so she did not draw as much national attention as some others.

IIRC, the Shimmel sisters self-hyped their interest in Stanford but I don't remember them even making our medium-lists of prospective recruits. Here's a 2008 story on Shimmel that claimed that "if she had her drothers, she'd go to Stanford" -- apparently her father is an alum. So that's probably where your memories come from.
