... Until now, Lyons' departure could be discounted as an anomaly, but a second projected starter in two years would make Lyons' departure more difficult to discount. 
...  I don't have any inside information on any of these three guys, but it seems possible that all of them could end up choosing to leave Stanford to their own detriment, and I have to wonder if there is a common thread.

I am not sure any of last year's graduate transfers were going to be starters at Stanford, possibly Skov the most likely. Hopkins and Skov were the only two who were starters at their new homes - with Skov off and on.

I also am not sure that anyone who finishes their degree ends up leaving Stanford to their own detriment.

Though on any team of 85+ players, where some play much more than others, there will be those more and those less happy.
