[2006alum]

The GW little guard had 14 rebounds.  That's not height that's hustle.

I didn't see the game but it's possible she played or shot closer to the basket than our guards do. She also shot 1/11 FG, so it's not surprising she'd pick up a lot of offensive rebounds (11 off, 3 def). As someone pointed out earlier, it's easiest to grab your own offensive rebounds because you know the expected arc of the ball and it often comes right back at you off the backboard or rim.

Nice recruiting post 2006alum.  Is Stanford in a slightly down cycle that most every team in every sport goes through at times.  Or does Stanford need someone new in the coaching staff to revitalize the recruiting of elite prep players.

Maybe I am too spoiled and should be content with a team that is top 10 to 20 in the rankings for the foreseeable future.

Things turn around for us a bit next year; we'll have the nos. 7 and 11 recruits in Kiana Williams and Maya Dodson, and the no. 6 ranked recruiting class as of now. BobK knows more than any of us, but I believe I remember him saying we've only lost out on about 3 or so top recruits who were/could be admitted over the past 5 years, so I think part of it is just a question as to whether the approx. 5-10 top 100 recruits eligible for admission to Stanford every year are closer to no. 1 or no. 100.
