Former Stanford setter Lindsay Kagawa Colas is among AdWeek's most powerful women in sports (July 8th issue). Here's a shot of her mention:  Oh my ... and that's about all I can say. |

Decent hands and good block timing and technique, but shoulder low on right side attacks and probably not enough height to play OPP. This is just one short video and leaves out many details like ability to dig rockets, serve effectiveness, etc. We really need to see her play against taller opponents in a HS all-star game or more likely we just wait until her freshman year and first set of practices in August. My best guess is she slots as a 5-1 backup setter. Kelsey Humphreys 2.0? Stanford took Humphreys the year after Bugg. To be fair, Humphreys was rated pretty high coming out of high school, in addition to familial ties. |

Not to mention Humphreys was on the Junior National Team that competed in the Junior World Championships... so there were expectations that she would be a great get for Stanford. |

Probably move into a serving specialist role. She’s good at a lot of skills but not great or elite at one in particular. The times I’ve watched her she seems like a great positive teammate. Hambly and Glass watched that T-Street team a lot this year, I thought she would for sure end up in the WCC but great walk on for Stanford. |

May explain why she wanted to go to Stanford so bad |

I have a question. When you look at a teams' roster, it usually lists 15-17 players. I realize that 12 are the max that can be on scholarship meaning 3-5 are considered walk-ons. My question is this; Are there other players that are not listed on Roster that are part of the team? Are there more walk-ons that are practice players but do not show up on the roster?

Hambly and Glass watched that T-Street team a lot this year, I thought she would for sure end up in the WCC but great walk on for Stanford. Thanks for that summary and I think you can sort of see that in the video. I guess we'll have to see more of her D and serves to see if she could move into a serving specialist role at some point. Wilson's serving acumen came up big at the NCAA championship in Minny. Having someone who can come off the bench and deliver a tough serve and play decent D isn't a huge advantage, but it can be a deal maker/breaker when two almost evenly matched teams tangle. |

I've never heard of any practice players for a team who are not listed on the roster. There are walk-ons on every team, and there are some players who do not have 4-year scholarships. Many defensive players have 1, 2 or 3 years of scholarship. Stanford has given 3 year scholarships to many players, including a top 2010 recruit, Rachel Williams. So they can spread the money out to a bit more than 12 players over time. Current Pac-12 regulations are that if you sign a scholarship offer as a freshman, a scholarship has to be offered for all 4 years, so the players with less than 4 years would not be on scholarship as a freshman. |

Somebody explain "Stanford is Stanford" to me. I was suggesting that Tufuga chose Stanford for all the reasons why it is one of the best institutions in the world, rather than just because she has a sibling there. |
