Stanford 5 star recruits (back to 2016) and the game in which they got their first start:

Courtney Ogden - 62nd game (WBIT game last season)
Lauren Betts - never started in her 1 season for Stanford; and played more than 20 minutes only twice (one an overtime game)
Indya Nivar - 21st game (only game she ever started in her 1 season at Stanford)
Brooke Demetre - 79th game (started 2 games her junior season, then started every game last year)
Cameron Brink - 13th game (once she got the starting job she never gave it up her freshman year; Stanford went undefeated the rest of the way and won the national championship)
Jana Van Gytenbeek - never started for Stanford (or Baylor)
Haley Jones - 3rd game (didn't start in 3 later freshman games, but played more than 20 minutes in 2 of those)
Ashten Prechtel - 1st game (but only started 6 total games her freshman year and 9 total in her Stanford career)
Fran Belibi - 2nd game (but only started 6 total games her freshman year)
Hannah Jump - 64th game (would go on to start every single game her senior and Covid seasons)
Lexie Hull - 1st game (started her first 3 games, but none after that her frosh year, though averaged 20.2 min)
Jenna Brown - never started at Stanford (or Notre Dame)
Kiana Williams - 10th game (and started every single game in her Stanford career after that, notable because she is the last PG we have had who is as highly rated as Hailee Swain is)
Maya Dodson - 12th game (but only started 4 games her frosh season, and 24 games in her 3 Stanford seasons)
Estella Moschkau - never started or played material minutes in her 3 seasons with Stanford; but she started 24 games and averaged 26.7 minutes in her senior season at Wisconsin
Nadia Fingall - 47th game (but only started 8 total games her first 2 seasons, started all but 2 of her junior/senior season games)

DiJonai Carrington - 39th game (though only started 7 games her sophomore season)

I put the odds of our 5 star frosh starting early this season higher than some of those above because of the unique attributes they add to the roster.

Wow, this is awesome. Thanks for putting it together. I will say, although I do understand that Betts being behind Cam and Kiki justified keeping her on the bench at the tip, it is striking that one of our highest rated recruits of all time was pretty constrained her freshman year relative to most of our even less well regarded top recruits historically.
