Hopefully the info below will help put into perspective how monumental the commitments of 2019 #1 Haley Jones and 2020 #2 Cameron Brink are. Below is a list from the last 10 years of ESPN HoopGurlz's top 10 whom we were rumored to be recruiting. As you can see it is a pretty short list. Every year there are only 1 or 2 top 10 players who could possibly meet Stanford's entrance requirements. Highlighted in red are the Stanford commits and players. In the blue are the names of players whom we are pretty sure would have been admitted but decided to go elsewhere. We don't really know how admissable the players in black were. If you look at just top 3 players, there are just 3 players in the last 10 years (not sure if Brianna Turner was admissable or not). Chiney chose Stanford and became a star. And people on this board, many years later, still bemoan the loss of Diggins and Samuelson#3. So in any given year, there is a 10% chance that a top 3 player will be admissable. And our hit rate was 33%. So we have a 3.3% chance of landing a top 3 player. And now we have done it 2 years in a row. They will play together for 3 years. And we have a shot at 2020 #1 Bueckers and 2021 #1 Fudd. It is a good time to be a Stanford fan.
