RE: Class of 2027+ - Hurlburt88 - 06-15-2026

FWIW, Somfai leaving seems to have struck a particular nerve.   So upbeat and with some nice skills, and then to leave rather suddenly while team is still playing.  Does anyone know if she ever even came back for spring quarter?

RE: Class of 2027+ - BobK - 06-15-2026

I believe she finished spring qtr on line.

thanks--I am glad to hear that.  and hope she did get something out of her experience, and also that we/Stanford learn from all this.   so painful . . .

Also, I was thinking about it this morning and realized that of the 7 players that transferred this season only 2 were recruited by Paye (Somfai and Amborn). Swain, Eschmeyer and Ezike stayed, along with all of her frosh commits (including Jordyn Wheeler, who has looked great playing for Canada in the U18 AmeriCup this week). The remaining transfers were 3 graduates, 1 player (Peterson) who played very limited minutes and 2x transfer Stevenson. The pure number of transfers is undoubtedly bad, but I feel like it would have been much worse if all or most of Paye's own players had left (like happened with Coach Caldwell in Tennessee).

Kate and some staff were also at the SAB (Stanford Athletic Board) Awards to support Shay. They are definitely doing the work. Good changes in my opinion.

Georgia Tech, Oregon, Alabama and Florida are the other four.
No Yukon, South Carolina, Texas, ND, USC, or UCLA there. Nice.

Courtenay is off the table - committed to Florida.

RE: Class of 2027+ - triangle2 - 08-18-2026

It just occurred to me that Paulo Alto's much appreciated color chart needs to be revised to account for the five years of eligibility over five years rule. Assuming I'm understanding the rule correctly, there are a lot of athletes who could be routinely getting at least a co-term masters degree by staying for year 5.

This seems very complicated for Stanford given how hard it has been traditionally to get admitted into a grad program.

I may be misremembering, but I think they made some change where a grad could take classes without being admitted to a traditional program...??? I think the part of my memory that I'm fairly certain is correct is that if Fran Belibi had graduated last year, she would be able to do the type of program she did at Harvard for a year.

If you are interested in a summary of the new rules, I found a law firm site that has one:

(Thanks for the update, Spike!)

I don't believe any of our players are subject to the transition period rules, but I'm not sure.

Thanks as always for putting this together!  Unfortunately, Jhaliana Guy decommitted from Stanford awhile back.  So, she should be removed from our list.
