Kiki decides on Nov 4th 2021

[eebmg]

She’s wearing a lot of national white and blue

and probably tired of the Sidwell Red Uni's

This reminds me when we were waiting for Paige and Azzi's announcements.

 

[oldude]

Will she please get on with it. I don't know where to watch for it.

Sidwell Friends on their athletics page has a link to her announcement.

Stanford has pretty much been the cream of the crop for all women’s sports. Obviously, UConn is at the top for wbb, but Stanford is also in that next bunch right up there on a regular basis. Tara has been recruiting better as of late and it looks like it will continue the next few years at least, keeping them in the same sentence as UConn and South Carolina.

Outside of basketball, there isn’t really another school that comes close in their women’s athletic dept. Obviously, this has no bearing on where Kiki is going to end up at. But I wouldn’t say Stanford is good just at country club sports; they’re really good at all women’s sport. National championships in the last 5 years or so:

• Basketball : 2021
• Golf : 2015
• Soccer : 2017, 2019
• Swimming : 2017, 2018, 2019
• Tennis : 2016, 2018, 2019
• Volleyball : 2016, 2018, 2019
• Water polo : 2015, 2017, 2019

Pretty much only thing missing is softball. And when adding in years with top 5 finishes, it’s pretty much every year across the board for most their women’s programs.

Being a lifelong Connecticut resident and a member of a country club, um, you list includes mostly CC sports-golf, swimming, tennis, water polo.

It sounds like, essentially, you’re saying all women’s sports except basketball are country club sports. Which sports do women play collegiately that you don’t consider to be country club sports?

Also, have you seen top collegiate women water polo players? Their size, strength, and shoulder width is anything but country club.

Kiki Rice has committed to UCLA

 

[nwhoopfan]

Uh.....so pretty much nobody saw that coming, right? Wow, big get for Close and UCLA.

 

[Mdoggie]

Well I’ll be, I was right.

 

[eebmg]

Oh well. Best of Luck

 

[JordyG]

UCLA? Education? Championships? Go figure.

 

[Amashutcha]

UCLA it is.

 

[Hayven]

Wow that came out of left field

 

[Purchase1]

UCLA it is they’ve been on a roll collecting guards.

 

[NYCHUSKIES]

She's going to UCLA

 

[nwhoopfan]

I heard she wanted to stay close to home. Is LA near the DC area?

 

[Kaizen]

UCLA, my god ... big surprise. I feel much better it is not Stanford

 

[hoopsfan22]

Uh.....so pretty much nobody saw that coming, right? Wow, big get for Close and UCLA.

Yeah if you're gonna go to the west coast why not Stanford? UCLA isn't winning a championship this year or any time soon.
