OTOH we did have a WVB MB transfer recently who got into grad school on her own. The real question is, are there enough more like her to target as recruits?

There aren't many like her (Madeleine Gates). Stanford was her dream school, but there wasn't room for her in the amazing WVB class that included Plummer, Gray, Hentz, Fitzmorris, and the Keefe twins. So she went to UCLA, finished her undergrad in 3 years, got admitted to Stanford grad school, and joined the team for what would have been her senior year. And she was a great addition and became a starter.

That's correct plus I read she has a genius IQ. I would guess there are some out there with a similar combination of talents. Maybe some ACC wbb players might be inspired to look at Stanford in future years for grad school.

And PalmTree, it sounds like the professors and department administrators who evaluate applications for their major don't put too much weight on an applicant being able to bounce a basketball.
