I've only watched Stanford wbball since the mid-2000s, so my knowledge is limited to players since then, so others will have to determine how 90s players liked Azzi, Goodenbour, Nygaard, Starbird, etc. would fit in, but a team just from when I've watched them would be something like:
Wiggins
Powell
Appel
Nneka
Chiney
maybe the 5 best players, but 4 forward/posts and a guard won't compete well. for a team, i would put
jayne at the 5
nneka at the 4. i agree that kristin folkl was amazing, but i can't put her ahead of nneka or jayne.
starbird at the 3.
candice at the 2
has to be jennifer azzi at the 1, though i agree that sonja and jamilla were pretty great. and molly almost single-handedly won our 2nd ncaa title.
nicole is the 6th (wo)man. first off the bench at all 5 positions.
jeanette Pohlen was a consensus all-american.
2nd team is kristin & chiney at forward, nicole at 3, jeanette and sonja in the backcourt
not yet mentioned is lindsay yamasaki. terrific player on some not very good teams.
3rd team molly & jamilla at guard, lindsay at the 3. val & kayla (or alanna smith) at forward.
here is a list of our
all-americans
