FYI, Claire Liu is definitely going pro, according to this article: http://www.vcstar.com/story/sports/2017/...0649001/.  Not sure why tennisrecruiting.net hasn't updated her profile, but there you have it.  At least we won't have to play against her!

As for Yee, the fact that she has barely cracked the lineup in two years here means she's probably come to terms that college tennis is the end of the line for her.  And if she's accepted that, then the decision point is whether she wants to spend one year someplace else, or whether she wants to stay as a part of this team and have as good a chance as anyone to win a national title.  But transfers, either outgoing or incoming, are extremely rare for this team.  And there's the ol' 40-year decision, of course.

Part of the roster confusion is that Stanford generally doesn't announce its incoming class in women's tennis, unlike most other schools (and other sports at Stanford).  I mean, this is how Stanford announced Michaela Gordon, who was the #1 recruit for much of her senior year, was coming to school--an oblique reference to her status as part of a preview of the Bank of the West Classic, where Nicole Gibbs, Kristie Ahn, and Emma Higuchi were all competing: http://www.gostanford.com/news/2017/7/29...ath=wten.  No fanfare.  No "Welcome to Stanford" Twitter post.  Had Stanford said "welcome to Sara and Niluka," we'd know they both signed NLIs and were both going to be on scholarship, meaning someone is leaving early.  But since the school doesn't announce commitments who have signed letters of intent, we're reliant on what recruiting websites say.  Usually it all lines up, but sometimes--like this time--it doesn't.
