I checked Stanford's official website. I was hoping to see her bio and what she is studying. There is not any bios for anyone on their roster.
Anyone know what her field of study is? I would guess that would play into her transferring or not.
Either way, I wish her the best. I am selfishly hoping for her to be a LG.

Like I said, for graduate admissions committees the prestige of the undergrad almost always takes a backseat to GPA and entrance exam scores. It's a pretty small factor, really. Therefore, if she thinks she would probably go to graduate school anyway, the farm's undergrad reputation might mean less (though obviously it's not meaningless).

Thanks CDA, I did not get in depth on the search as I could have I guess.
let's all get over the fantasy that joslyn will ever don a lady griz uniform. not only is she happy at stanford, montana was not even her second choice. georgia was. and don't forget the adage, you can never go home again. there may be an age exception--like past sixty--but not when you're twenty.
still, there's a certain sadness to this. to be exactly halfway through your collegiate career, and not see the court at a national semifinal, is not the way you drew it up when you were a high school all-american. i believe joslyn by skill and by bulk is a true post player, sacrificing her talent anywhere else on the court. problem is, you can be the tenth best post player in the country but the second or third best at stanford. that was a reality when she signed, and the reality she has to live with now.

While I doubt Joslyn will ever be a LG, you are out of touch with reality if you don't think that a Montana athlete who went out of state has never come back. There are several of them that have. Joslyn has seen her PT drop all season, to getting 0 minutes in the national semifinals. If she is OK with that, who really gives a rip. The education she is getting is top notch, and the contacts she will make are even more important as she moves on in her life.
Her playing time went down late in the season, but so did the PT of most of the bench. Stanford had some close games and wasn't taking any chances in the tourneys. Jos ended up 6th on the team in minutes. She started 9 games. In the last 8 or so games, she had the most or second most minutes off the bench in each game, except for three (note that a guard off the bench was playing more than the starter, and was usually first in minutes off bench). She also scored and rebounded fairly well in several of those games off the bench, and better than any other post. 7 point against NC, 7 rebounds against St. Johns, and 8 point against AZ.
The post Ruef got 20 minutes against TAM. Normally, Jos plays more minutes than Ruef. The other bench post, Boothe, who usually plays more than Ruef, got only 1 minutes. Those were the only bench post minutes. I think it must have been a match up thing too.
I look for her to start next season, or at least be in the mix. Peterson, the post who played all 40 minutes against TAX and who Jos started for when she was hurt, is a senior.
Regarding schools and education, the people you meet and the professors you have are as important as the degree you get. Also, the friends you make. Those things can't be easily replaced, if at all. By attending Stanford, Jos will have made a huge number of friends and contacts, for life.

The ONLY reason she got starts was due to injury. That obviously made minutes look way better than what they were. If you really look at the numbers you will see underclassmen starting getting more minutes, so nice try. I am not dissing Joslyn, I am a huge fan of hers, but do you really have to spin every freaking stat? :roll:
I have heard that due to a lack in playing time Jos has decided to transfer, but due to the idiot posters on egriz that think they have any idea what they are talking about, she has decided to play for Montana-Western.
No, not really, but this has to be one of the dumbest topics ever.

I have looked at the minutes, and except for the last game, it is not true that other underclass post players were usually getting more minutes than Jos. Jos got more minutes the Ruef, who got 20 against TAM, in almost all games. Boothe also got more minutes than Ruef in most games, but played only 1 in against TAM.

So does it escape you that the Ugwumike sisters are underclassman?

I wish there was a pencil and paper application so i could draw you a picture. More minutes means they are playing more, quit playing lawyer and reading into every freaking thing

I trust that you are not dumb enough to think that I was indicating that a back up post is getting more playing time than the 3 starting post players? If you are that dumb, then let me know, and I'll explain it to you. Hint, the sisters are starters. Stanford starts 3 posts.
Does it escape you that Jos backs up Peterson, who is a senior? The bench forward who got 20 of the 21 minutes of bench forward playing time against TAA is more mobile and appears to back up the younger sister. The two of them split playing time. They are more like small forwards. Jos plays behind Peterson, who played 39 minutes against TAA I believe, and the older sister, to a lesser extent. She played 40 minutes against TAA, I believe.
You and Backer might want to do your homework before you spout off about something you know little or nothing about.
I do not think Jos can play the 3. She lacks the quickness necessary to guard on the perimeter.
grizindabox said:
Agreed, at least against a team with great quickness like TAA, and that's why she didn't get the minutes at the 3 against TAA. The two larger post players played 40 and 39 minutes of the game, I believe. There were no minutes for Jos because of that. Against some teams, Jos can and has played with the two bigger starting posts.
Of Stanford's last 6 games, not counting TAA, Jos was the first sub or first post sub in each of the 12 halves on 9 of the 12 occasions. In the Gonzaga game, she was the first sub in both halves (I think first sub and not just post sub). In the 4 tourney games until TAA, she was the first sub or first post sub in each half of each game except for one half.
Again, when the conference and ncaa tourney was on, Stanford didn't give many minutes to the subs, so all sub playing time was down. I also noticed that Ruef, the forward who got the playing time against TAA but hadn't been getting much previously in the tourneys, also subbed in at guard on occasion in the tourney stats.
Dude, a bachelors degree from Stanford isn't a dime a dozen. You're being silly if you actually think that.
