I wonder. As the season's progressed, I think the door's opened wider for him to stay another year. He has obvious things to work on, he has muscle to put on his frame, his team has a good thing going and he could be a big part of it next season, he's surely bonded with this team (especially given the circumstances), he sees players developing under this coaching staff and he might see that he could do the same, and he's been deprived of a normal year on the Farm, complete with fans in the seats, students (including prospective dating material) on campus, and live, in-person classes. Perhaps the biggest factor is his parents, but he came to Stanford for a reason -- and it wasn't to contend for a national championship (or maybe it was?!). :^)
