Kiki is ESPN player of the week -- and Tara is coach of the week

1. In the game, in the special features about her record, and in her exceptional post-game press conference, Tara made fabulous impressions. She came across as genuine, humble, personal, and gracious. I came away with an extremely favorable impression of the kind of person she is. Recruits across the country who were watching could only be favorably impressed when considering what it would be like playing for her. 

I would hope that's true but the very next day 2024 #10 Mikayla Blakes, who had Stanford as one of her top 6, chose Vanderbilt. I don't know what factors may have played a part (including admissions), but it's a bummer.
