The men finished 2nd at the Western Intercollegiate at Pasatiempo led by Nathan Wang who T5th and
Ratchanon Chantananuwat who finished 8th.
The men beat a ton of teams ranked higher, but there were no elite teams in the field. For the NCAAs next month, Stanford won’t have a problem getting an invite to one of the regionals, but only the top 30 move into the finals at Carlsbad. Stanford is currently ranked 42nd and should move up quite a bit.
The women have led at the ACC championships thru the first two rounds and hold a 3 stroke lead going into the final day of strike play before entering into match play. The team is being led by Andrea Revuelta and is atop of the individual leaderboard. She continues her strong play from the Augusta National Women’s Amateur.
Mejia, Megha and Kelly are at +4 so they will have to up their games before match play. Paula is T4th and has been the most consistent performer this year.

It feels like this needs its own thread.
Crazy these two teams are meeting in the conference tournament in Charlotte, 2,700 miles from either campus.
The crowds they must be expecting ....

I'm looking forward to it.
This will be the 4th meeting in postseason in the last 6 years. We won last year, Cal won 2020 and 2021.
The lower seed won the last 3 matchups. Let's break the trend!

Welcome to the Stanford women's basketball recruiting notes thread for the month of February. If you missed anything from the previous recruiting notes thread, click here.


Stanford signed an elite 2025 class. My write up on that is here in case you missed that. Of that group three have been named McDonald's All-Americans: Hailee Swain, Laura Somfai, and Alexandra Eschmeyer. I'll have a content piece on that coming out soon and I'll also see if I can get some interviews with them about their experiences. But I wanted to make note of that in here.

Stanford also made the top 15 for 2026 5-star forward Amari Byles (Desoto High School in Desoto, TX). You can see the full list of schools here. As far as other 2026 recruits are concerned, the following I have as targets: PG Devin Cosgriff (Bishop O'Dowd in Oakland/J-Kidd Select), 4-star PG Maddyn Greenway (Providence High School, Plymouth, MN), 5-star wing McKenna Woliczko (Mitty), 4-star PG Brooklyn Haywood (Union High School in Fircrest, WA), 5-star wing Brihanna Crittendon (Riverdale Ridge, Thornton, CO), 4-star wing Bella Ragone (Mill Creek High School, Hoschton, GA), and 4-star guard/forward Jacy Abii (Liberty High School, Frisco, TX). Woliczko tore her ACL. @StannyBoy provided an update on that in the most recent recruiting notes thread.

Other recruits in 2027 and 2028: 2027 SF Madeline Mignery (Cardinal Mooney Catholic, Sarasota, FL), 2028 PG Jhaliana Guy (Mac Irvin Fire ACC in Chicago, IL & Bettendorf High School in Bettendorf, IA), and 2028 forward Amy Nduka (Eastside Catholic High School in Bellevue, WA). If there's any questions you have or if there's anything I missed, let me know. I know I can count on @Bobbk to fill in any gaps!

Pretty incredible today. Pretty emotional as well. If you didn't watch it, you missed something extraordinary. Someone to whom the Masters meant more than anyone else on the planet, gave it away perhaps four times today. Then on the first hole of a playoff, birdies to win. He dropped to the ground and sobbed. I don't recall seeing that much raw emotion at a sporting event in a long, long time. Congrats Rory. . .. I think only the 6th player all time with the career grand slam. Gene, Ben, Gary, Jack, Tiger, and now Rory. Special.

2026 3-star defensive end Max Meier has committed to Stanford. Adam Gorney’s story is here. He’s the guy I alluded to yesterday.

Welcome to the Stanford men's basketball recruiting notes for February. Been long overdue to have a new recruiting notes thread for men's hoops, so here it is! If you missed any of the action from the previous recruiting notes thread, click here.



First of all, Stanford has two commits for the 2025 class. Lativan forward Kristers Skrinda and Brewster academy point guard Ebuka Okorie. It's important to note that Okorie has not yet officially signed. Stanford hasn't announced him yet. The regular signing period is April 16-May 21, so we'll have to wait until that window for him to officially sign. Both guys address important needs. Skrinda is expected to take on the role that Maxime Raynaud had as the primary big and then Okorie will bring point guard depth, which will be important as Jaylen Blakes will be moving on after this season as well.

If anyone has any questions on scholarship count for next season, I addressed that on page two of the most recent recruiting notes thread, so click here to check that out in case you missed that.


As for the 2026 class, Stanford already has a commit in 3-star shooting guard Myles Jones out of Modesto Christian in Modesto. So things are off to a good start there. For a list of the 2026 offers, click here. And then for the 2027 class, click here.

I've not seen much information about Stanford Spring Football, so maybe this has been covered somewhere, but does anyone know if Umeh is making any progress toward being able to play?

He obviously has a very unique set of challenges to overcome, and I am certainly fascinated to see how he does, while rooting for him to do so. Anyone have any knowledge or insight to share about him?

Read that here.

Read that here. This was fully expected/part of the plan.

Stanford wide receiver Emmett Mosley V has hit the transfer portal. Obviously a major bummer for the Cardinal.

This was also expected. Wide receiver Mudia Reuben has entered the transfer portal. He and Troy Taylor really didn’t get along. Like David Bailey, he’ll be getting his degree.

Was watching John Oliver's show that originally aired last Saturday, and the last segment was on the Fish Doorbell and Thunder Keck's video on it. Unfortunately I can't find a clip of Oliver's segment, but here's the original video by Keck.

Apparently, Keck is now a WWE wrestler. Oliver made a joke that he uses the ring name "Shiloh Hill" which is much much worse than his real name, Thunder Justice Keck. Nice to see him pop up on an interesting and perhaps NerdNation-worthy subject.

We're keeping third party law firms in business.
