Good explanation for this wait. I just keep my fingers crossed as I check the boards since we have 2 top ten possibilities for 2015, though the common views for KLS aren't as optimistic as we'd prefer! Hope that she and Lambert at the end of the day value the whole experience and degree of Stanford above ND/UConn and South Carolina. Would be great if C Rice can serve as advisor to the latter, as she did to Chiney!!!!
As an aside I do find it hard to conceive of kids that are smart and industrious to achieve GPAs above 4.20 not valuing the education enough to turn us down for a second tier school. I know it has happened (Sue Bird?) because basketball was one's life, but things happen and a great degree can also create a terrific back-up plan. I think Beebe was top ten when she signed and sad story but she will have a Stanford education and degree.
