As Bobk mentioned, on the tail of their best post season, first Elite 8, plus a great individual career and solid WNBA rookie season for their star Naz Hillmon.
I was surprised Gail Goestenkors passed on the Michigan job (her home state) years back after resigning/struggling at Texas as it seemed to have high potential with low expectations. If Thomas joins Olson, that's a tough inside-outside tandem.
Stanford would still has Umeh, Edwards, Fournier, and maybe Dudley can play some inside for forward-center '24 options. I think Joyce Edwards is the one I'd like most, has spent the most time at #1 in the class and seems to have an Aja Wilson-like game, versatility, and pro-build though a little shorter.
I saw Watkins do a livestream on instagram but was too shy to ask about colleges. She was sitting in a car with Mackenly Randolph. Randolph visited Louisville a few weeks ago
