Two players thought to be Stanford bound ended up committing to Duke Interesting Lighting up every candle for Harvey Texas you already have Bunton and Singletary! Go away 😩 glass was never really thought to be Stanford bound. some Stanford fans wanted her but from all accounts the staff wasn't recruiting her. I may be wrong, but id be surprised if they offered zoe and she chose duke, unless someone knows more makes me think maybe they didn't offer her in the first place and that was also just fans wishing for someone the staff didn't want |

Next year it will be Singletary and Bunton...and that’s it. Both O’Neal and Bergmark are gone. Doesn’t mean Stanford needs her more or less, but Texas is definitely in dire need for middles on the roster in 2025. |

I actually like Zoe but I just can't believe she had a Stanford offer and is going to Duke. |

Is that news? I just don’t see a solution other than the B1G. The ACC has issues with revenue sharing already, and Stanford doesn’t add anything on that front. The Big 12 doesn’t have anyone who is close to an academic peer. The SEC isn’t going to extend an invitation and it’s not clear Stanford would want to join. It’s B1G or bust, really. They can try to come up with a temporary solution, but they’re not going to like it, they won’t be willing to lock in for a long term deal, and I just wonder how many conferences other than the ones mentioned mighty Stanford would be willing to demean themselves for a limited time simply to fill their schedule. Not to mention how many of those conferences are willing to change their dynamics significantly for what will be a short term association. To me the best situation for all involved is for the Mountain West to fold into the PAC, take the brand name, and then when Stanford leaves they still have a better brand name conference than they previously held, and they have an association with whoever remains among Cal, Washington State, and Oregon State. But that’s a lot easier for me to type out than it is to actually execute. At the time I thought the Southwest Comference schools should have tried something like that, But they all kind of went on their own separate journeys. |

Teams voted No to not invite them but looks like they are still trying to push to be included. I read someone else saying they are trying to even over a cut to join. I agree though, that a short-term solution with MWC fold is likely the best option for next year or two. |

Ex: Bergmark Stanford definitely needs her more lol Like I said, I wasn't trying to make it a competition. Just pointing out Texas definitely needs a middle. How many middle transfers are out there every year with a Taylor Harvey talent level? 1 or 2 tops? I understand that's a program weakness for Stanford, but it's a choice. Change the policy to accept transfers. Boom. There will still be challenges in terms of getting into school and transferring credits, but the first step is simply to loosen the rules around transfers in the first place. I understand that's easier said than done, and that it's a longstanding administrative philosophy, not an athletic department decision, but it's still self inflicted. Anyway, not a fan of pretending to have a recruiting battle on message boards. People get invested in this stuff like their argument is going to have some kind of sway, which is dumb. She'll go where ever she's going to go. Just saying there's no compelling argument to be made that Texas doesn't need her. Texas definitely needs her. I will say if Texas had somehow managed to land Favor Anyanwu instead of USC in the 2024 class (I don't even think they recruited her) the dilemma wouldn't be so dire. She looks like she's going to be a stud. |

Ex: Bergmark Stanford definitely needs her more lol Funny how everyone assumes she’s only considering Texas and Stanford…🤔 I assume she is considering a number of schools. But some facts: Stanford only has one scholarship MB on the roster for 2025. Taylor's younger sister is now a freshman at Stanford. Our other MB recruit Zoe just committed to Duke - hard to believe she picked Duke over Stanford if she had a Stanford offer. So the tea leaves suggest that either 1) Taylor has committed to Stanford (we are the only school that doesn't announce commits), 2) we somehow lost a commit to Duke, 3) our staff literally can't add I would suggest that #1 is most likely. |

You think Taylor is committed even though she has official visits lined up to other schools? Does that fly with Hambly? |
