Rumors of a transfer from Penn are in the air. Could we instead fill the final spot with a surprise freshman? That sometimes happens, usually with overseas recruits who were simply on no one's radar. Is there an Alanna Smith or Lili Thompson out there in the offing? I have no idea, but given that Stanford has slightly liberalized transfer rules it is entirely plausible that we might get a top Ivy Leaguer. I might look at the graduating senior starters from the Princeton team to see if any of them were contemplating grad school at Stanford.
The possible transfer of a player from Penn would be a giant stablizing move. Since you didnt mention her name, I wont either(not sure if it is a board rule to not mention names )
I remember reading an article earlier in the season that she wanted to play in California, where she is from, but I assumed it was one of the 2 Pac12 schools in So Cal. She is enrolled in the Wharton School of Business at Penn, and I am sure Stanford would have something for Grad school that is within her needs.
I have watched her play since HS, and she would be a big plus for Stanford.
Good Luck
