I am not sure any of last year's graduate transfers were going to be starters at Stanford, possibly Skov the most likely. Hopkins and Skov were the only two who were starters at their new homes - with Skov off and on.

Other than Lyons' lack of PT at UM this year, do you have reason to think Lyons would not have won 1 of the 5 DB positions at Stanford this year?  Do you think Shuler will lose the C position next year?  Do you think Rector would lose his starting WR position next year?

I also am not sure that anyone who finishes their degree ends up leaving Stanford to their own detriment.

I was addressing the issue from a football perspective only.  Obviously, there are academic considerations as well (which probably favor Stanford in most cases anyway), but I view these decisions as football driven, so that's the perspective of my post.

Though on any team of 85+ players, where some play much more than others, there will be those more and those less happy.

This is a truism.  Do you disagree with my new hypothesis about Shaw?
