Joe don’t forget our newly signed Greek

Yes, I was in the process of getting her name from the "New WBB signee" thread.

And, at this point, the PG situation for 2023-2024 season is still up in the air, 
since HARRIEL, LEPOLO and NIVAR have yet to play the collegiate game

Your point about Harriel, Lepolo and Nivar having not played a game in college has been a concern of mine.  I may have missed comments about guard prospects in the portal and whether there were attempts to recruit someone, but (no offense to Stavi Papadaki), why make the effort to recruit a wing/guard who may ONE DAY become a productive contributor when Stanford needed a quick, athletic and experienced PG NOW?

Same reason we can't recruit many as freshmen. There's a vanishingly small number who can get admitted to Stanford as frosh, and that number is even smaller since there are fewer top guards in the transfer portal and it's even harder to transfer to Stanford than get admitted as a frosh. I'm confident if such a guard had been interested and eligible Tara would have pounced.
