On the question of Tara not starting freshman at point, yes, that's been true most of the time. But there have been exceptions involving exceptional players. I know that Ros G-O started at point for most, if not all, of her freshman year. I don't know about Sonia Henning since I didn't start watching Stanford WBB until her junior year. But I'd be surprised if she didn't. The other outstanding case that I"m aware of is Jamilla Wideman. She started, I believe, from the very beginning. IMHO, Sonia and Jamilla are the two best pgs that Stanford has ever had. And then there's the case of Nicole Powell. She also started from her first game as a freshman, and was converted to a pg since there wasn't any other strong candidate. That's if I remember that one correctly. At any rate, a bit of historical perspective.
