STANFORD, Calif. – Each member of Stanford's incoming recruiting class was named to their respective all-state first teams when USA TODAY High School Sports unveiled its ALL-USA state squads on Wednesday.
Archbishop Mitty's Haley Jones was named the California State Player of the Year and was joined on the five-person first team by Pinewood's Hannah Jump. In Colorado, Regis Jesuit's Fran Belibi was chosen as that state's player of the year and on the first team alongside Discovery Canyon's Ashten Prechtel.
Jones, the nation's consensus No. 1 recruit and Naismith National High School Player of the Year, averaged 26.1 points and 12.1 rebounds a game in her senior season. Hannah Jump, another five-star talent and the No. 50 overall player in the espnW HoopGurlz Top 100, finished her career with 357 made 3-pointers and averaged 16.7 points per game this season.
Belibi, the first woman since Candace Parker in 2004 to win the Powerade Jam Fest dunk title at the McDonald's All-American Game last month and the No. 23 prospect in the country, scored 21.8 points a game this year and added 12.3 rebounds while earning Gatorade Player of the Year honors in Colorado. Prechtel, the No. 16 overall player in the class and a McDonald's All-American along with Jones and Belibi, averaged 23.3 points and 17.6 rebounds per game and finished her career as the leading rebounder in Colorado history.
The class, ranked second nationally, will join a Stanford team that returns four starters in 2019-20. The Cardinal won 30 games, reached the Elite Eight for the 12th time in 16 years and won the program's 13th Pac-12 Tournament title last season.
Stanford checks in at No. 3 in The Athletic's early women's college basketball rankings and will host Oregon, Oregon State, UCLA, Tennessee and Ohio State as part of an impressive home schedule next year. Season ticket membership deposits are currently being accepted for 2019-20. A $50 per-seat deposit (non-refundable) will ensure that you are able to choose from the best seats available, soon after current season ticket members have a chance to renew. Deposits will be applied to the final ticket purchase total.
