"His absence takes on greater significance because of another development: Senior Ryan Burns, who replaced Chryst in the Sun Bowl (and started the first seven games of the season) is expected to leave Stanford under the NCAA’s graduate transfer policy."

Most of us expect it, but does Wilner have any actual information from a reliable source?

Agree. I don't expect him to stay, but I won't rule it out until either Burns or Shaw/Pritchard says it. Wilner may have information from a "reliable" source, but the lack of a destination makes me wonder how reliable the info is.  At worst, we should get some hard data in 3 weeks. If Shaw says he isn't returning, his departure is for sure and possibly not entirely of his own choice.
