100%.

Definitely agreed.

Same. Btw, do we claim Iriafen and David Bailey?

I'm not familiar with David Bailey's, but Kiki Iriafen also graduated and we should claim both...along with Nunu, Chloe, Courtney. They will not be the last to graduate and play their fourth year somewhere else.

Anyone who has a Stanford degree is an alum. Their current bi-lateral relationship with the University is a somewhat different issue. There are undoubtedly cases where the alum does not "claim" Stanford and is estranged from the University. However IMO any alum who hasn't expressed otherwise should receive acknowledgement of that status from the University, i.e. it should "claim" them. There are undoubtedly cases where the University would rather not do so because of bad conduct (e.g. Elizabeth Holmes, who didn't graduate but left after 2 years), but that IMO does't matter. We are stuck with them in that case.
 
Cases like Tiger Woods are different in that he never graduated (left after 2 years). Neither did Christian McCaffrey.  Should we "claim" them? What exactly does it mean if we do? Christian left to turn pro. We still love him. Bailey also left to turn pro go to Texas Tech, but he got his degree before he did so. Why would Bailey not qualify if Christian does?

As I recall it, Carrington had issues with the coaches or team in her final year.  She was away from the team for a time apart from her injury and it wasn't clear whether she was going to return.  Whether it was because of the lack of a promise of a fifth year or issues with Coach VanDerveer or something else wasn't public.  I liked Carrington's game because, at the time, she was one of our few players who could get to the rim on her own and score.  However, her game was very inconsistent and she did not seem to thrive in the structured offense.  

She does not seem to have had an ongoing relationship with the program and I have never seen pictures of her talking to the team or being at other events where basketball alum show up.  Also, she has always listed her college on her roster designations as Baylor, not Stanford so the separation may be mutual.  She is obviously an alum but the posts by the team about alum are just marketing and there are no rules about who has to be included.  For all we know, Stanford has reached out before and she doesn't want to be a part of any Stanford WBB marketing.  I just don't think it is anything to get worked up about.  

Cheers,
