Here are your freshmen

Just 44 days until the first game!

These are the new faces we'll be seeing at Maples:

Alyson Beebe is a 6'3" forward from Santa Maria, California. Aly missed her high school senior year of basketball as she recovered from a torn ACL. She averaged 20.1 points and 12.5 rebounds as a junior and was named a prep All-America honorable mention after leading Saint Joseph High to a 29-6 overall record and the CIF Division III title. In the title-clinching contest, Aly scored a game-high 21 points.

We won't be seeing Aly on the court this season. She's rehabbing from surgery for a second ACL tear. I expect that she'll be kept busy on the sideline leading the high-fives for three-pointers.

Kiran Lakhian is a 5'10" shooting guard from Plano, Texas, just north of Dallas. Kiran was the tallest player on her West Plano High team and was listed as a forward. But she did a little bit of everything and was used at all five positions.

Tess Picknell is a 6'5" center from just north of the border — Medford, Oregon. Tess helped lead South Medford High to the quarterfinals of the Oregon 6A tournament last season and was named All-Oregon second team after averaging 13 points, nine rebounds and about five blocks per game. She blocked 13 shots in one game.

Stanford Athletics chatted with Kiran and Tess today, just before their first official day of classes. Read here ...
