It's a guarantee that there will be surprises in the transfer portal era, so no speculation from me.

Just hope all the guys end up getting that Stanford degree (and actually landing a transfer would be nice as well).

Wish 'em all well but can't help feeling they're bound for rude awakenings.

There are only four players on Stanford's team at the moment that I would see as big losses were they to leave. That doesn't mean other players can't come in and replace them, because that's what's suppose to happen. But only four players I have seen that - to use an MLB term - have a positive WAR for Stanford IMO.

CB  Kyu Blu Kelly
 S   Jonathan McGill
TE  Ben Yurosek
WR Brycen Tremaine

The player development on the team seems as bad as any other aspect of the program.

Tanner McKee would be a big loss too.

Different POV: I remember all too well what happened to Trent Edwards. I want to think that McKee is being reminded of same by people who care. The rules may afford more protection for QBs today. But, still. He stands a far better chance as a UFA, watching, learning, out of harm's way.
