The predictable comment might be more geared towards my personal skepticism of the selection process for the Olympic team. Nneka was the first overall pick in 2012 and rookie of the year and she was not selected (fair enough, wait your turn). 2016 was Nneka's MVP year, she was left behind. 

The wrong school reference points to the fact that Stanford has not had a women's basketball United States Olympian since 1996. That is astounding, and contributes to my predictability comment. Stanford does not have a seat at the table among the selection committee, UConn and South Carolina do, which is another challenge that must be overcome in recruiting at this point.

Actually, Stanford WBB alum Bethany Donaphin, now Head of League Operations for the WNBA, is on the selection committee. Still, it does seem the deck is stacked.
