Well, this is depressing, but Tara is simply going to have to pull off a few more of her magic tricks.  I wish KLS well, but I cannot fathom encouraging my own daughter to choose Connecticut over Stanford on the basis of any sports program.  I wonder if KLS is as academically inclined as her sisters?  And I wonder if the professional opportunities in WBB is harming Stanford's recruitment of elite athletes?  If so, there are some foolish decisions being made--but maybe that isn't it.

And yes, with 3 of the top ten recruits, Connecticut looks like a hegemony, and yes this will be very bad for WBB in the long run.  I am disappointed for Stanford, of course, but I am deeply disappointed for the game if all the suspense goes out of the national championships for the next few years.
