This is clearly not a risk to any football student-athlete at Stanford in 2023.

Are you sure? There are reasons to believe the head coach would want to play guys that would be around next year. The head coach may also not take kindly to guys he doesn't know and has no relationship with throwing his program under the bus (by their actions) and then later saying they didn't mean it. I  wouldn't take it as a given that all would be forgiven because we need the bodies. If a statement needs to be made, here would be the golden opportunity.

Taylor in his presser: "I told everyone in the portal that they're all welcome to come back"

He told the players in the portal that they're welcome to come back, or that he wants them to come back?
