From this morning's (1/16) SF Chron -- article about the need for Stanford to expand the offensive production

Thanks.  I think that is a fair article.

Same. It's definitely their achilles heel. If we thought Jump didn't get enuf shots up last year because of aggressive guarding, this year she is pretty much stuck. Even when there is a quick opening, she seems to hesitate more often and then doesn't let it fly. She's definitely extended her game with  left hand layups, e.g. but her 3 pointer is a 100% necessity against better teams. Bosgana is inconsistent, in effort, correct defensive position, and shooting. If she has a good game, we win, if not, maybe not. Harriel's effort and threes are a great addition this year, but she is not yet as physically strong as others, and needs to eliminate the high school layups. Ogden looks like a player, but has been unavailable, and I assume that means for practice also. She may be a big part of the answer, but we dunno yet. Clardy is impressive on d, but turnovers at the pg position are clearly a problem. Utah, and especially Colo, guarded Lepolo more closely than other teams have which slowed down her 3 pt shot. She doesn't have a jumper out there. It's a set shot and she's not 6'2". So, what to do. Seems like the answer lies in setting more screens for Jump (where is the elevator door screen, e.g.), Jump letting the ball fly, good health for Ogden, and Lepolo to keep practicing and letting it fly.
