Tara doesn't get her third championship without Jones, who was clutch every step of the way to that trophy, as well as being a charismatic face for our team. Whatever has happened since, I will always be grateful she came to the Farm, and I'm hopeful she'll find a way to turn the corner as a pro.

the pros are not kind to tweeners like haley and candice. nicole, too.

but also, most of our top players were not stars in the pros -  candice, jayne, nicole, lindsay yamasaki, kristin folkl, kate starbird.  a few were - nneka, chiney (hopefully cam after recovery from surgery) and a few others have started - currently lexie and alanna. 

true of stanford football as well: andrew luck, cmc yes; toby and bryce love no.

lots of other college football super stars didn't make it in the pros - tim tebow, robert griffin iii, johnny manziel...

Why do you think Candice Wiggins was never particularly consistent in the pros? I don't view her as a "tweener", she was a 5'11/6'0 explosive shooting guard at Stanford. 

I also thought Nicole Powell at Stanford showed every bit of promise to be a Tamika Catchings/Maya Moore like SF in the pros, but she too never asserted herself beyond a steady role player in Sacramento. Jayne never matched the success she had at Stanford, nor did Kayla, Jeanette, etc. It's too bad, the WNBA is a tough league but it's also not a great look for Stanford.
