Cam is on it as one of the 5 player first team -- all the obvious and predictable choices -- Clark, Cam, Bueckers, Watson, Hildalgo. But disappointing, Kiki didn't even make the honorable mention list, after the 3rd team. She deserved to be somewhere on this team!

I think this is incorrect. It appears Kiki did in fact make the AP Honorable Mention list. See here: https://apnews.com/article/ap-all-america-womens-basketball-team-6112af423be09a0ff5fcf3ec9aba22c2
Thanks for the correction. Great to have the full press release with all the detail.

Kate Paye named the Assistant Coach of the year.

Katie Meier of Miami has retired after 19 seasons at Miami.
Talks of Kenny Brooks/Virginia Tech being pursued by Kentucky.
Some good jobs will open up and while I don't know if these are a fit, I think Lindy La Rocque has to be one of the most sought-after coaches to make a move to a BCS program.

I agree re Lindy being a likely sought after coach, but BCS? That's a football designation. I assume you meant that as a way to say beyond a mid-major, i.e., major conference
Here's a nice article about Kiki from "The Next." Good points about the value of playing against Cam in practice

This seems worthy of posting. Really hope Iriafen does not leave. Article states, she is set to graduate this spring from Stanford in 3 years. Top programs may have already contacted her during the season without our coaching staff knowing. Top players at some schools making upwards of $800,000 in collective money. She's projected as a top 3 pick in next year's draft.
In my honest opinion, I think Iriafen returns to Stanford.

There was a national source rumor of a transfer. I wondered if kiki was graduating. Now we know. Yes the worse news possible

Unfortunately, that is where the game has brought us. As much as I would like to see her come back, if she can actually graduate in 3, get some grad school covered somewhere else and pickup a few hundred thousand to boot, why would she stay at Stanford? It would NOT be the smart decision for her. Now if she gets into Stanford Grad program, that is different.

How bad is our collective in comparison to other schools trying to lure Iriafen? It's one thing to want to play for a team that's a true title contending team, if that's a reason she chooses to leave for example. But really how much more money are other programs offering than us? Specifically, I'm wondering about USC and UCLA. I think the SEC in general is in their own tier for money.

Could it be $150K ?could. Would it be $500K no. But the bottom line could Kiki even be in school next year Weird the story brought up co term without knowing
But see her Twitter post. I’ll look for it

Wow! If the rumor of IRIAFEN transferring isn't just a rumor, Stanford will indeed
be facing a nightmare of a forthcoming 2024-2025 season.

I just don't understand why the Chronicle would write an article titled "IF Kiki Iriafen transfers," - as if that's something that is being considered. Seems strange to start an article with the basis of that prompt.
