Actually sad news about Jana. At one point she seemed on track to inherit Stanford's PG position. She had a pretty hot hand at shooting the threes and had a upbeat motor. We saw her struggle at times, but we could chalk that up to experience. In the end, she really didn’t seem to spark the support of the coaching staff. Then the Cardboard Rumor mill started to churn out sympathy, stories, and rebuttals, but they are now irrelevant.
In the end it seems like she wanted acknowledgment and playing time. I hopes she gets both in her new home. And I hope one or more of our players this year rise to expectations, and to the occasion, and become a first rate point guards. It seems a bit iffy at this point that a freshman can come in and command the respect to start, so we will see how Tara crafts the lineup. We might even get another big surprise in the next few days and get a replacement on the open market.
