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.
