Daaayummm...

Understandable, but she will be missed. Sad that we didn't get to give her a proper sendoff, either.

If only that #@@# pandemic office hadn't been eliminated...

I don't like Stanford losing any athletes - want them all to be content with their decision to play for and attend Stanford.  I also think it helpful to have a roster of players with varying strengths/attributes, including toughness.  Dodson brought this.  I also thought Carrington was very tough (along with being a great overall player).

The absence of any mention of the coaching staff in her statement - especially when contrasted with the comments about teammates - gives me pause.  Maybe Dodson's departure has absolutely zero to do with the staff . . . but I still think Carrington got sideways with Tara & Co. and if Dodson did, too . . . well . . . pause.

I admit this is all speculation from a STH.  But, there it is.

The thought has crossed my mind too.  Carrington's farewell statement was much the same, praising the sisterhood but not a word about the coaches.  

I enjoyed watching Dodson play, and will miss her.  I feel badly that injuries and COVID prevented her from becoming the star I always hoped and expected she could be.  My instinct tells me she will save a final year of eligibility for a full season--not a truncated one--since it must have hurt very much to come back from injury last year and get only a few games in before COVID quashed the season.  Maybe she will follow Carrington.  It makes me sad.
