Would be great parallelism to four years back in 2018 when Jones announced she was attending Stanford, from her high school gym, live on ESPN. Here's hoping for a repeat performance 4 years later.

There is a chance! I haven't heard anything official when she'll announce but I concur with the others that Watkins will have a prime time ESPN announcement. I do feel better that she recently visited Stanford and we might have a decent chance. She was also back at USC for their exhibition game after her trip north. She's been on the USC campus more times than I can count. Granted, it is her hometown. USC hasn't made the NCAA tourney since 2014...could we really lose a top (the top recruit) to them. We will soon find out.

USC coach GOTTLIEB is most likely selling to Juju WATKINS that she will be the centerpiece of USC's resurrection 
to prominence, the same way that UCLA coach Cory CLOSE convinced Kiki RICE last year.  The big difference is 
GOTTLIEB has already coached a previous PAC 12 team Cal to its first and only Final Four appearance 10 seasons ago.

But choosing Stanford will pretty much assure WATKINS of annual trips to the Final Four and most likely
a few national championships, and she will be the centerpiece of that potential jaggernaut.
