That is encouraging to hear the analysis in that second video that they think Stanford should be the favorite based on the success of the team, the academic reputation, and the fact that she would probably start for four years.  UConn she would be behind some outstanding young guards.

If she is certain she wants to say close to home, then Duke is probably her choice.   Hard to see her choosing Yale since the academics are no better than Stanford and the distance from home--culturally and geographically--is not insignificant.

Hard to see it being UCLA since that would mean she was willing to come to California, and if so, then why not us?

Keep in mind that official visits are not purely to help a recruit make a decision anymore.  I think many times they have decided before their visits but take the trips anyway, partly for fun, partly to see friends they have made in US basketball, and partly to meet coaches that--even if they turn them down--could still play a role in their basketball future.  A way of showing respect.  So official visits can tell us who is not being considered but they say little about the final decision.
