She probably didn't want the immense pressure that goes with that,
and may have partly contributed to her deciding to go elsewhere
as a grad transfer.
So with Kiki and Cam and Hannah gone, what's left of Stanford's roster
and who will be their GO TO player(s) on offense?
SF/SG - OGDEN
PF - DEMETRE
PF - AGARA
PF - PETERSON
C - UMEH
SG - BOSGANA
SG/PG - CLARDY
PG - LEPOLO
PG - IJIWOYE
SG - PAPADAKI
SG/PG - GREEN
Offhand, I foresee a seven-player regular rotation
consisting of OGDEN, DEMETRE, AGARA, UMEH,
BOSGANA, LEPOLO and CLARDY.
PETERSON and IJIWOYE are completely unknown
to me, but hopefully can contribute.
PAPADAKI and GREEN hardly played the past two seasons,
and I don't see that changing moving forward.
Definitely a MAJOR CHALLENGE faced by the coaching staff!
What happened to Harriel?
Edited my previous post to add HARRIEL.
Perhaps I misunderstand, but, as the case of Maxime Raynaud shows, to opt to go into the portal does not imply that one is definitively "gone." At this point, who can rule out Kiki deciding to return? If she hasn't applied for or gotten into any Stanford grad program, then I would agree that it is unlikely she will return. Did Kate Paye try to talk her into staying? If she did, that doesn't speak well for her persuasive powers, since Kiki is a likely All-American next season were she to stay at Stanford.
To me, entering the portal on a "No contact" basis indicates she's got a better opportunity/offer elsewhere. That said, I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
