Men’s water polo has 5 international players. I think this is the most international players ever on a Stanford men’s water polo team and I like it.

The golf situation is not surprising considering Coach Walker's background.  She has been recruiting internationally for a while now and doing it well. If you look at a LPGA tournament roster it is obvious there is a lot of golf talent from outside the USA..  You still have to have the academics and I would assume there is possibly some kind of ranking service for international players. Women's basketball now has several international players. The head coach has to decide how hard to work and whether to pursue international talent.  Football is probably the only sport where there isn't much of an international talent pool, but we have had a few I think who were not kickers.
