Hopefully that ends up 12 or 13.To me, this is not surprising, coming off the heels of an all-PAC 12 national championship game where 14-time Final 4 and 3-time national champion Stanford edged out first-time Final 4 participant Arizona, 54-53. And the year before, IONESCU-led Oregon would have won the national champion had the NCAA tournament not been cancelled.
So let's break down the current PAC-12 Top 100 commits by school, so far
(ranking by Top 100 recruiting class as of Oct 8, 2021)
OREGON
(7) Chance GRAY 5'9 PG 5* (high)
(13) Grace VANSLOOTEN 6'3 PF 5* (mid)
(35) Jenna ISAI 5'11 SF 4* (high)
(58) Kennedy BASHAM 6'7 C 4* (mid)
OREGON ST
(6) Timea GARDINER 6'3 PF 5* (high)
(10) Reagan BEERS 6'2 C 5* (mid)
UCLA
(19) Gabriela JAQUEZ 6'0 PF 5* (low)
(21) Paris CLARK 5'8 SG 5* (low)
(22) Londynn JONES 5'5 PG 4* (high)
(48) Christeen IWUALA 6'3 C 4* (high)
STANFORD
(1) Lauren BETTS 6'7 C 5* (high)
(70) Talana LEPOLO 5'7 PG 4* (mid)
ARIZONA
(9) Maya NNAJI 6'4 PF 5* (mid)
(31) Kailyn GILBERT 5'8 PG 4* (high)
USC

(52) Elle LADINE 5'11 SG 4* (mid)
(78) Teagan BROWN 5'10 SG 4* (low)
CAL
(50) Amaya BONNER 6'0 SG 4* (mid)
ARIZONA ST
(72) Tryanna CRISP 5'8 SG 4* (low)
Index:
*****
1-7 5* (high)
8-14 5* (mid)
15-21 5* (low)
22-48 4* (high)
49-75 4* (mid)
76-100 4* (low)
I think what is impressive is how many of these players could potentially be all-American level players. Based sort of on the rankings, I would put Gray, Vanslooten, Gardiner, Beers, Jaquez, Jones, Betts, Nnaji, and Gayles all on that list.
