Based on this Tara quote from the Chron sited earlier:

Blending all these talents will be a major challenge. VanDerveer hasn’t had a team this deep in many years, if ever. She warns not to discount guards Anna Wilson and Jenna Brown and forward Alyssa Jerome.   “They’re smart; they’re Stanford students,” she said. “They know it’s going to be very competitive. The returners have a better sense of how hard you have to work to get ready for a Notre Dame or a Baylor. I’m confident the freshmen are going to be in a battle, a big battle.”

Tara is not expecting Wilson or Brown or Jerome to transfer.  Who did she not mention?  Sniezek, Moschkau, Brewer.  Of course, one never knows if the reporter left out things she DID say and made it look like an omission when she may have talked about each and every player.  The article  does mention Dodson, Fingall, Williams, Carrington, and Hulls earlier.

I'm not sure I see Tara's statement as precluding one of those players from transferring. For one thing, if they're smart and competitive and know what it takes, that might also mean they're willing to transfer someplace else to get more playing time. Brewer and Wilson I don't see because they have too much invested and why would you give up a Stanford degree for one year? And they seem like two of our most committed players. Plus, neither of them, nor Sniezek, opens up a fifth recruiting spot for the 2020 recruiting class, as BobK hinted. So that means it would have to be either Brown, Moschkau, or Jerome. I could be wrong, but both Moschkau and Jerome never seemed like their recruiting profiles suggested they thought they'd be starting much before their senior years. Brown, on the other hand, could very well want more playing time elsewhere, and with the multitude of shooting guards and wings we have and have coming in, may feel like Williams is likely to occupy the PG role for the foreseeable future. That's more or less the only position where there can be only one. So if I had to guess, I'd guess it would be her.

Hopefully this is idle speculation and it's no one. I like our team just the way it is, and I think Brown has a lot of potential if she can work on her confidence shooting outside.
