Between seasons

The FBC website will be active during the summer, reporting all the Stanford Women's Basketball news we can find. Watch for this information:

• USA Basketball, U18: Will Chiney, Sara or Toni play in the FIBA Americas Women's U18 Championship in Colorado Springs in late June? The USA U18 team trials will be June 8-11 in Colorado Springs.
  
  
• USA Basketball, National Team: The USA National Team will try to clinch a spot in the 2012 Olympics by winning the gold medal in the 2010 FIBA World Championship for Women in the Czech Republic in late September. Will Candice be a major factor in achieving this as she was in 2007 with the U21 team? Will Jayne be on the team?
  
  
• News of Cardinal in the WNBA: Will Nicole have a good first season with her new team? Will Brooke be signed to a season contract after training camp? Will Jayne recover from her injuries and have a great rookie season?
  
  
• Summer basketball at Kezar during June - August. Who will participate? Will Grace, Lindy, Joslyn and Mikaela play again this summer? Will we get an early look at incoming freshmen Chiney, Sara and Toni?
  
  
• National Awards: Will Kayla, Jeanette and Nneka be on any preseason watch list or selected as preseason All-Americans?
  
  
• News of Mel and JJ: How is their recovery from microfracture surgery progressing? Will they be on the team next season?
  
  
• Bob Kinder's reports of what to expect from the other Pac-10 teams next season.
  
  
• The 2009 -10 schedule: a preliminary one in a couple of months, the official one in September.
  
  
• Preseason predictions and prospects.

Remember that something you won't find on the website this summer is news of high school players who have verbally committed to Stanford or of other prospective recruits. While John and Sue Soo would like nothing better than to share news and speculations of who will be Stanford freshmen in 2011, the NCAA prohibits us from writing about a recruit until she has signed a letter of intent. The early signing period this year is November 11 - 18.
