So, with Yu coming in, that makes for a heck of a class, with the current #3 and #7 recruits coming on board, making Stanford the only school with two top 10 recruits in this class. (That said, Harvard has 3 blue chips, though just one in the top ten. Michigan, UCF, and Yale also have two blue chips.) Yu has been ranked as high as the #1 recruit each year of high school, and she won the USTA Girls 18s National Championship. She's a big, big get, and we remain absolutely loaded going forward.
Updating that roster math:
Possible fifth year (1): Blake
Seniors (2): Houghton, Geller
Juniors (3): Ma, Yepifanova, Xu
Sophomores (2): Blokhina, Sun
Freshmen: (2): Yu, Hui
Now, you can count as well as I can, and that makes ten, or nine if Blake doesn't come back. I had assumed Xu was the odd woman out last year, as she wasn't announced. Even though she was a top 10 recruit, she was still the clear #3 in the class. But Xu would be above Sun, for sure. I wonder if Sun is on a year-to-year situation, as both Yu and Hui will probably jump ahead of her in the lineup next year.

Meanwhile, in San Diego, we have some matches to play:
Round of 16:
Main Draw:
10:00am: [2] vs. Carolina Gomez Alonso (Arkansas)
Consolation:
11:45am: #14 Yepifanova vs. Daria Kuczer (Tennessee)
12:15pm: #105 Blake vs. #98 Kimmi Hance (UCLA)
