Hope she rocks it like Kate Starbird!

Hoping these forwards will have some muscle and be able to bang down low in the SEC.
I would think this team will have more basketball IQ and a working mentality.

Welcome Harper and hope your injury heals well.

We definitely need the height. Hopefully she will get more playing time than the Wolf.

Her pre injury production is more promising I like the add but we also need another bigger player that can rebound and score.

Peterson saw just 70 minutes of action in 19 games at Stanford, but I hope she stays healthy and develops into a strong contributor.

While not a particularly good shooter in HS, she did a nice job rebounding with 8.3 per game in her last 3 seasons:

Great picture with the coaching staff! I guess there aren't any players around to get any pictures with.

I was just wondering a little while ago what the timeline is for the upper-class players to start trickling in. Typically freshmen move in on campus in mid-June, but I can’t remember if that’s also when transfers show up, too.

Picture a well known university. Their once esteemed women’s basketball team has just concluded an uncharacteristically poor season. Players and alumni, it has been reported, are deluging the AD with calls to replace the head coach. Many team members have entered the Portal. Welcome, Ladies and gentleman, to Stanford University. It has served as a training ground, in each and every aspect enumerated above, for our latest recruit. She should hit the ground running.


Edited to add… Also, too, as well, having just left the house that Tara built…that’s Tara the multiple natty winning coach…Ms. Harper must be…. drummmmm….rollllll ….. a QUITTER!

you got to take it into consideration
that some players might need to finish up there's there's a coursework at there previous School

Summer term would be best any highschool recuit - transfer portal players

regardless of University

That’s a mighty tall order. Starbird was one of the all-time greats.

But, yeah, we can hope!
