I agree on all the comments about concerns re Lepolo's contributions, but I also suspect that one reason her playing time is way down is that Kate has her on limited minutes, for injury recovery.

What is the PG situation going to be next year? You’ll have Lepolo back again, Clardy, Ijiwoye as a sophomore, and a new freshman in Swain who’s the top point guard in her class. Swain, Clardy, Ijiwoye all have a higher ceiling than Lepolo IMO. It wouldn’t surprise me if Talana is not a starter next year.

I concur with BillBradley's take on the realistic expectation for this team for this season,
especially after what we witnessed in their first 4 games:
"Ranked 15th to 25th during the season, 4th in the ACC, and a 6 seed in the NCAA Tournament..."

I think next season will be the resumption of Stanford's re-emergence back to its dominant norm. 
Incoming elte 5-star recruits PG SWAIN and F SOMFAI are the future stars who will lead the Cardinal,
joining forces with juniors-by-then F AGARA, W OGDEN and SG CLARDY 
as the most likely Top 5 players during the next two seasons ('25-'26 and '26-'27 seasons)
