Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3059009, member: 9403"] When she was recruited by Stanford her other offers/options were Harvard, Princeton and Georgetown. I don't see her grad transferring to State U just to play. Unless someplace like Georgetown or George Washington could use a PG next season (and I don't follow either team well enough to know), I don't see her going someplace random for a random grad degree. She seems too motivated. Also, per Tara's recent interview for the PAC-12 network podcast, and my own suspicions, I suspect she'll pursue coaching. She has tremendous basketball IQ and drive that is hampered by somewhat average athletic ability and her small size. But those downsides are irrelevant as a coach, and she's been a great captain and team leader on our team, so I think she'd make an excellent coach, if not soon, then one day down the road. And yeah, I could see Jones sharing the point duties by mid-season, but Tara generally doesn't entrust even the best frosh with running the point from day one, especially given the complexities of her Princeton-predominant offense. I see her being used the way Lacie Hull is - she can share point duties for some sets but isn't the default ball handler. Between Williams (a natural 2 but a darned good 1), Wilson, and Jenna Brown (the most natural 1 of our returning players), there's little need to rely on Jones to run the point. [/QUOTE]
