I think this upcoming season might be a critical one in terms of recruiting. If Kate can show that last year was an aberration and with talent back in the fold with Swain & Somfai & co., we can restore what had been the expected norm over the last 3 decades - not if we make the tourney, but how high of a seeding we can get, then recruits may feel better that the program won't fall off after Tara's retirement.

We are not going to win the natty next year, but if we can get a #5 or #6 seed or better and make a Sweet 16/Elite 8 run, then that might go a long way in re-establishing the Stanford brand
