Austin Jones to SC. Yuck.

Remain calm! All is well!

But seriously, this is a scathing indictment of our program.

No, it’s not.  It’s the new reality.  College free agency.  With Stanford having both hands tied behind it’s back.  I knew, and suspect most here did, that the transfer portal was very bad for Stanford.

No, it is. When a player leaves pre-graduation, goes to a rival, and isn't expecting their place in the pecking order to be materially different, it means something's broken. This isn't like the basketball player who transferred out after one season. Jones has been here longer than that.
