Per ESPN, Aaron will transfer to St. Mary's for his last year of eligibility.

For those who don't click on links, the above answers Terry's concern:

"Bright will take advantage of the graduate transfer rule, as he will graduate and still have one year of eligibility remaining."

So he'll have a Stanford degree before heading off to St. Mary's.

Is it really a "transfer" if he graduates and goes to St. Mary's for graduate school?  I didn't transfer to Harvard for Medical School after graduating Stanford.  This is yet another example of the popular media ignoring the "scholar" part of "scholar athlete".  And this is another reason why I was so happy to hear recruits announce their decisions by saying, "I intend to graduate from Stanford" rather than "I intend to play for [insert school]" or (worse) "I will take my talents to [insert school]".
