It is a minor miracle that this game will happen at all, and with the looming uncertainty about the season, this may be one of the few chances to see how our team is evolving during the epidemic. With no exhibition games, this will be our first opportunity to see newcomers Agnes Emma-Nnopu, Jana Van Gytenbeek, and Cameron Brink. But my own excitement is centered more on seeing how our sophomores have improved, and seeing how Tara chooses to put the pieces of the team together. She is a master puzzle-solver, and each year she constructs an effective team out of a different mix of players, and the process by which she does that is fascinating.
As for today’s game, Cal Poly is led by 6’3” Sierra Campisano. We discussed her as a possible recruit on this board but I have no idea whether Stanford ever recruited her. She was the #14 recruit in the ESPN top 100 coming out of high school and went to Oregon. She had some outstanding players ahead of her and played only 6 minutes a game through her sophomore year, and transferred to Cal Poly, where she sat out a redshirt year before playing last year, where she averaged 17ppg and 8rpg. She is a versatile player who shoots treys at 37% and freethrows at 82%. I’m sure she will earn the respect of our defense.
