That was quick! They now have 2 elite PGs.

Seems Stanford and ND are in a bit of a tug of war for elite PGs.
An interesting sidebar is the Lili Thompson story ... she leaves Stanford for "a chance to compete for National Championship", total dig at Stanford out the door, then Stanford advances to final for, loosing to eventual champion SC. Oh, and they went through ND to get there...

ND, with Lili Thompson at the helm, have LOTS of work to do to best Stanford's 16-17 achievements... It will be interesting to watch.

Good for Stanford. Tara can do good things with non-elite players. She should be able to do great things with elite players. Go Stanford!!

Actually Tara has done better when Stanford was the underdog. It was kind of a psych. block the last few decades. Perhaps she has worked it out now.

How many PGs can Stanford utilize? Sniezek still has 2 more years of eligibility and I'd be surprised if she isn't a starter as a Jr. and Sr. Anna Wilson was fairly highly regarded, but got almost no PT as Fr. She has 3 years of eligibility left. Adding Kiana Williams for '17-'18 season and now Brown for '18-19. That's gonna be a hell of a lot of PGs on the roster for the '18-'19 season, unless they know for sure someone is leaving?

Really? They went to 6 Final 4's in 7 seasons from '08 to '14 and were the National Runner Up twice during that time frame. Many (pretty much all) of those teams were not in any way underdogs. Not sure where you're getting that from.
