Is there any indication Padilla and Stanford are talking ?

To my knowledge, no

"Yes, it's hard to get transfers, but not impossible."  Bob K.

Padilla's name occasionally comes up in newspaper stories along with Kaitlyn Davis (Columbia), Ania McNichols (Cornell) and McKenzie Forbes (Harvard).  They have been mentioned as potentially 'good fits', but nothing more.  Then there's Maty Wilke (Wisconsin) who lists Stanford among her top 5, but I think she will go elsewhere.

Padilla indicated early on that she wanted to play her graduate season out West, but I have not found a source that suggests anything more specific.

After evaluating the players mentioned above, Padilla is clearly better than any of them, but then again, maybe she goes elsewhere (UCLA, USC?)

I'm beginning to wonder (should Tara consider the portal), that she might she opt. for a post (i.e. a Lauren Ware/AZ) who could spell Brink and Kiki, rather than go for a guard or wing.  

Your thoughts?

Ware has three years of eligibility left since she was a medical redshirt this year due to a torn ACL, adding another post would be great, of course there is a slight issue of admissions.

As for the others listed it depends if they can really be an asset to the current roster.  It might be better to focus on providing more playing time to current players that did not see much playing time.
