Including their 3 HS senior commits for 2023, 
this is how Stanford's line-up/depth chart
looks like for the 2023-2024 season:

SF:  (2)
-  Brooke DEMETRE   6'2  (Jr)
-  Courtney OGDEN   6'0  (Fr) 

PF/C:  (4)
-  Cameron BRINK   6'4  (Sr)
-  Lauren BETTS   6'7  (So)
-  Okikiola IRIAFEN   6'3  (Jr)
-  Sunaja AGARA   6'2  (Fr)  

SG:  (3)
-  Agnes EMMA-NNOPU   5'11  (Sr)
-  Elena BOSGANA   6'2  (Jr)
-  Stavi PAPADAKI   5'11  (So)

Combo Guard (SG/PG):  (2)
-  Indya NIVAR   5'10  (So)
-  Chloe CLARDY   5'9  (Fr)

PG:  (2)
-  Talana LEPOLO   5'7  (So)
-  Jzaniya HARRIEL   5'10  (RS So)


That's a roster of 13 for 2023-2024 so there is room 
for 2 more 2023 recruits.

However, as already mentioned before, if Stanford uses 
those 2 remaining allotments for 2023, they will have room 
for only 2 2024 recruits.

Question:
Is the above-mentioned 13 player roster for 2023-2024
good enough to be a Final Four team?  
 
On paper, YES, but, in reality, it really depends on how
NIVAR, LEPOLO and HARRIEL perform this forthcoming season,
this being their freshman season, especially manning the PG position.

Personally, I would just use one of the 2 remaining 2023 allotments 
for 2023, so as to reserve the other 2023 slot for 2024 
where they have several Top 30 prospects.  

(I know Stanford is targetting #1 PF EDWARDS, #3 PG/SG OLSON, 
#10 Center THOMAS from the 2024 Class, but my personal favorite 
is #28 PF/SF/SG/PG CHELI from the ArchBishop Mitty after watching her 
play for the USA U17 national team. Her game resembles that 
of Notre Dame's Sonia CITRON who I really like, as well.)

Or maybe get silent commitments right now from (1) JUMP and 
(2) either PRECHTEL or BELIBI to play for their optional covid 5th year?
That way, they get to reserve both 2 remaining 2023 recruiting
allotments for 2024...

cassandre prosper is really good; juju watkins and hannah hidalgo are just spectacular - imo these 2 are haley jones / cameron brink talented. i can't see turning any of these 3 down (2 of 3).

yes, it will be very disappointing not to have space for edwards, olson and cheli, and we will need another post, like blanca thomas, soon. and then there's allie ziebell, a higher-ranked hannah-jump-type sharpshooter.

Yes, would love any of those three.  All are phenomenal! 

Are we sure all current players are on scholarship… ie Papadaki? Not suggesting I’ve heard anything otherwise, but just a question if anybody knows.
