13 players on this new Stanford team. They must replace 5 graduated Seniors but Smith and Newlin were the only two who averaged over 10 minutes and 2 points. Still that's over 60 minutes of court time and 22 points a game that will come from others.
The good news is that Rosalyn Gold-Onwunde and JJ Hones will be back to run the point after injury and super Senior Wiggins will be free to do what she does best and score. Super sophomore Jayne Appel 6'4 with Harrison and Clyburn will be joined by Kayla Pederson 6'4 and Ashley Cimino 6'3 to help offset the loss of Smith and Newlin on the front line.
The Stanford recruiting class has top 10 Pederson and top 20 Pohlen with Cimino, and Donaghe. Pederson needs to work out well for Stanford to be a NC contender. Stanford should be the team to beat in the West and is a good bet to be an Elite Eight 2 seed. Wiggins is one of the best players in the country.
