I apologize if I am counting out the future backcourt group this early.
Just going by what I've seen from Jana VAN GYTENBEEK and Agnes EMMA-NNOPU from last season, and the ESPN HS ranking of HARRIEL (#78 overall - Class of 2021), LEPOLO (#70 overall - Class of 2022) and AGARA (#39 overall - Class of 2023). Outside of maybe Karlie SAMUELSON (who was a member of Final Four 2017, if one can consider her as a premier go-to backcourt player) I don't recall a non-Top 30/Top 35 overall recruit become a premier go-to backcourt (SG/PG) player for a Stanford Final Four team, in the tradition of STARBIRD and WIDEMAN (Final Four 1995-1997), WIGGINS (Final Four 2008), POHLEN (Final Four 2008-2011), Amber ORANGE (Final Four 2012 and 2014), McPHEE (Final Four 2017), and Kiana WILLIAMS (Final Four/National Champion 2021), who can (1) create off the dribble and (2) shoot the lights out from outside.
