Shades of Jason Collins/Oakafor?

Collins was a sophomore who declared pro before graduating; here we are talking about women with an extra (fifth) year of eligibility coming back, presumably after graduation.  There is less of an obligation to hold a spot for them.

I disagree with this take. Prioritize your existing student athletes over potential recruits who may or may NOT even pick Stanford. There is a reason student athletes were granted a COVID year in the first place.

If Hannah Jump for example (or any of this years' seniors) was upfront and clear with the coaching staff about wanting to return for a COVID year (a player who's improved tremendously throughout her career and put in her time and waited for her moment to shine), she should absolutely be given the chance to return and have a scholarship available.  Our senior class is tremendously talented. Why would the coaching staff NOT want them to return. You think Tara is counting down the days until Haley Jones graduates and leaves the program. Heck no or at least I hope not.
