1. To the other posters, thank you for the welcome. I was unaware of the CARDboard until links were posted this year on the StanfordFBC site. I enjoy (and learn from) your comments.
2. A thank-you for discovering that the school preferences of the recruits that HoopGurlz lists are randomly entered. Good to know going forward.
3. An answer to the question about the third and fourth Ogwumike sisters, but as a part of the rest of what I've read about Stanford recruiting and prospects from 2011-2015:
2011 - I don't know if anyone noticed, but Alex Green, who was the last of the six 2011 class members to be admitted, had only one school listed that she was interested in - Stanford. I don't recall ever seeing only one school listed for any other recruit in all the time I've been perusing HoopGurlz's site. It appears she was not to be deterred in where she wanted to go. I like that. Good for Alex!
2012 - 3-star recruit / 88 rating / #85-ranked G / 6-2 Elleson Tinkle -- We had/have a 2012 roster spot open, but Joselyn's sister committed to Gonzaga.
2013 - 3-star recruit / 90 rating / #31-ranked G / 5-11 Karlie Samuelson -- We already have more 5- and 4-star players-of-interest than we have openings for in the 2013 class, so it does not currently look like we plan on recruiting Bonnie's next-oldest sister.
2014 - 3-star recruit / 88 rating / #20-ranked F / 6-0 Olivia Ogwumike -- HoopGurlz states that she's developing but doesn't yet show the skills or "bounce" of her older sisters.
2015 - 6-2 W / Katie Lou Samuelson -- HoopGurlz states that she has the potential to be the best of the Samuelson sisters. I don't know about her academics, but if they're up to snuff, I'm sure we're tracking her basketball progress.
2016 - Erika Ogwumike is in the 8th grade right now, but I haven't come across anything about her basketball skills or progress.
