I think she started following Wasserman while on her Stanford visit. I think she's heading to Stanford.

Relax and read the first two sentences on this again. Has she posted anything like this about the other two visits?

I like the optimism, but understand the concern because the Uconn reaction was in May, the follows of our competitors are recent. If the order was reversed I would be very confident, nearing on certainty, but that isn't what happened. The indirect clues allows us to see the glass half empty or half full depending on what you want to give more weight to.

Just came back to say that Lara has liked UConn’s last 10 posts on Instagram. :D

Tomorrow should be very interesting.

Ok that's good news then! For some reason I'm not seeing her likes on the UConn page, just saw them on Stanford. Thanks for the update! I guess there's still hope yet! :)

But then again, so did Rebecca Lobo's.

From what i see is that if you dont actually follow Lara you wont see her likes! My friend follows her and she had liked BOTH teams recent post! But more uconn post than Stanford. I want to say uconn but it can go either way!

The same exact thing happened with Sarah Strong though. We were convinced she was going to Duke because she followed all their players after her visit. Seems like Sarah worked out for us in the end. Now what’s most concerning to me is all the WBB accounts predicting it’s Stanford (they also predicted Sarah would go to Duke, so they probably can’t be trusted either). But maybe they know something we don’t?

I've said this many, many times but she has always said her dream school was UConn!
UConn is her legacy school! Geno & the staff will make her great, and she knows that!

She’d likely start sooner at Stanford. And it is closer to home than Storrs. But the prospects of an NC are greater at Storrs.

I would suggest that there are no/nada/zero chances for a NC at Stanford in the near future. The Tree's WBB world has changed, losing Kiki and Tara.
 
Stanford's pitch: 1000's of miles and 3 time zone savings for Lara and her parents; Great academic reputation respected worldwide; Come to Stanford and be the immediate star to reignite the program.

You are right that this has some of the same vibes as with Sarah. In both cases we believed we were the clear cut heavy favorite, but then later in the process it looked like other serious competitors were being given serious consideration, from visits, social media etc. I suspect we both agree that hearing the pitch from other schools with impressive programs, players and coaches, does not necessarily mean that Uconn has lost the top spot, because of a few likes, or that we have been eliminated.

It very well could mean that Lara realizes that she is in the fortunate position to have multiple very good choices, and that the decision is not as obvious as she might have thought previously, and that she greatly appreciates the interest from all the programs. I don't feel as confident as I did a few months ago, but also think it would be premature to conclude we have been excluded.

As you point out, Sarah may have gone thru the same process, perhaps having some second thoughts, but ultimately returning to the previous favorite. That could happen with Lara too, but I don't think the clues are conclusive one way or the other at this stage. We will know soon.
 
I'm wondering if they are deliberately putting out misinformation these days to build hype for the announcement and then all the press that follows a potentially surprise outcome. It's all about the media exposure these days.
