Perhaps the really elite HS WBB players don't view our recent history as "recent FF success."


Consider:  In the lifetimes of those now playing, or just about to play, in college, the WVB team has won 2-3 National Championships and been the National Runner-Up five times [with a couple of extremely close defeats], having played in 11 Final Fours.  During that same period, the WBB team has won 0 National Championships and been National Runner-up only twice, having played in nine Final Fours.  Many of us remember the WBB NCAA Championships, having traveled to Knoxville and L.A. to see them.  However, none of today's recruits were even born then.

Yes, our lack of recent national titles is not good, however besides UConn and N.D., we have been the most consistent postseason program in the country over the last decade or so. 

In the past 6 years since Chiney as the #1 recruit in the Class of 2010 signed with us, schools like Nebraska, Ca.l, Texas, Duke, UCLA, Ohio State, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, USC, LSU, Northwestern have signed at least one top-10 recruit during that time and we have more Final Four appearances than those schools combined over the last 10 years.

We are clearly in the top-tier of programs, despite a 20+ year drought in national titles. 

Also, if you are a WVB player and come to Stanford, you will be playing in what is a highly competitive league that is either clearly the best WVB conference, or one of the top 2-3, every season.  If you are a WBB player and come to Stanford... not so much.

That hasn't stopped UConn from attracting top-level talent.  I don't think UConn has lost an in-conference game besides to N.D. when they were in the Big East together in years (St. John's in the 2011-12 season) and now that they are in the American Conference, they don't beat opponents, they annihilate them with only South Florida resembling some form of resistance.
