This is my favorite layout. I especially appreciate the color coding! Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

It'll be interesting to see how the next few weeks unfold. Stanford has two more scholarships for next year, and while we're not desperately in need of recruits with a terrific freshman class and a solid contingent of juniors, we're on the precipice of what has to be the weakest recruiting class I can ever remember Stanford having if we swing and miss on Wynn. I can't actually recall us failing to land a single top 40 recruit in a recruiting cycle, but unless there's a surprise I'm unaware of, we're one miss away from that happening.

Still in the running for Fope Ayo & Elyse Ngenda ?

Still in the running for Fope Ayo & Elyse Ngenda ?

Indeed, but neither is a consensus top 40 pick across the services.

Yes and yes. But I selfishly hope you don't get Fope Ayo. Don't you greedy trees have enough bigs already?

I think 2015 was a tough recruiting year for Stanford.

Sniezek the highest ranked, 38th ESPN, 61st by ProspectNation, 47th BSBB
Shannon Coffee, NR ESPN, 3 star PN [not sure of rank[, and 94th by BSBB
Alexa Romano, NR ESPN, NR PN, 178 BSBB
Edit: Alanna Smith was in this class but international. Was reminded of her inclusion by TheFarmFan

Different from this past recruiting class, I'm not sure the 2014 class for Stanford was that strong.

Taylor Rooks (18 ESPN, 60 PN, 27), Brittany McPhee (25 ESPN, 50 PN, 77 BSBB), Kaylee Johnson (30 ESPN, NR PN, 126 BSBB).

Johnson was a contributor for 4 years and McPhee was a standout by her Senior year. Rooks didn't pan out for them but that was a solid class.

McPhee was outstanding by her senior year! I was a bit surprised she didn’t do more in the W!

There have been quite a few players I've been surprised never broke into the W.

I actually met her while out hiking, soon after she'd been cut during camp. She was going to play in Europe shortly after that.

Alanna Smith was part of the 2015 recruiting class. Because she was international she wasn't rated by the services but she was definitely regarded as a top recruit. And as others said, the 2014 class was solid - all three were the Gatorade athletes of their respective states. Rooks didn't pan out and Kayl had injuries throughout her career but I'd gladly take another McPhee and Kayl this recruiting cycle.

Edited to add: a bit of deep googling revealed that McPhee is now a second year resident training to be an orthopedic surgeon. Another alum doing the Farm proud.

Don't want to derail this thread too much but just wanted to say:

I wasn't trying to knock any of those players. But from the statement of "Consensus Top 40 recruits" they weren't. Of course, I forgot about Alanna Smith in that class, who probably would have been if she was ranked, so the initial statement from me becomes moot. But that was the season when wasn't Katie Lou considering Stanford [granted, those closer to the program may have expected that she wasn't going to follow her sisters], Johnson was great on the boards and brought big value to the court. McPhee had a phenomenal senior season and really helped keep that team alive, they still went to the Sweet 16, right? Which, maybe wasn't the expectation after their road trip to Columbus then hosting UConn.

It was really more to say when evaluating the class recruiting rankings, those classes didn't seem strong. Where as this season, this class is following one of the better recruiting classes with a high number of players, the 2014/2015 classes weren't as big and weren't as highly regarded out of high school.
I could have articulated that better though initially though, so thank you both for the responses.
