as i remember jj hones came in ranked #33. if not for golf carts, jeanette could have stayed at 2 guard and jj could well have led that team to a national championship.

How can I forget JJ HONES.  I followed her HS career closely, along with those of Jillian HARMON and Lindsey YAMASAKI, because I lived in Portland OR from 1992-2007.  

I was so impressed with Lindsey YAMASAKI in HS - she was a national Top 5 recruit from the Class of 1998 along with Sue BIRD, Swin CASH, etc  -  that I predicted that she would be a 4-time AA. Did not happen, but she did lead Stanford's WBB team in scoring during her freshman and senior year, although the best her Stanford freshman batch of 1998 could do was a Round of 16 finish in the NCAAs during her senior season. Her stay in Stanford from 1998-2002 was the leanest 4-year period in Stanford's WBB NCAA performance during Tara's coaching reign, despite having national Top 5 players in Center Carolyn MOOS (1997), SF Lindsey YAMASAKI (1998), PG Jamie CAREY (1999) and SF/PF/C/SG/PG Nicole POWELL (2000), although CAREY only played one season due to concussion.  I really think that Stanford would have had at least one Final Four result from 2001-2003 had Jamie CAREY been able to play during what would have been her sophomore, junior and senior years at Stanford.  I do remember her transferring to Texas and immediately leading them to a Final Four, am I right?

i was a big yamasaki fan as well. i remember sitting in an airplane reading a sports illustrated "faces in the crowd" article about her senior year in hs. si was really big on her and predicted stardom at stanford. she sure was fast and athletic.

on jamie carey:  she was pac-10 freshman of the year in 1998-1999, but then sat out the next 2 + years with post-concussion symptoms. she transferred to u texas in 2002, and they did go to a final 4. i think i remember that stanford docs would not clear her to play but texas did.

carolyn moos did not live up to her ranking, and we were so short-handed at point that nicole powell had to bring the ball up court.
