The “heartfelt” messages players write thanking everyone as they enter the transfer portal.
Not a big fan of disingenuous self-serving messages. If they truly felt the way they say, they wouldn’t be leaving. So, spare me the BS.
Just shut up and leave. And don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Players who have graduated may not have a choice or their priorities may have changed. Their graduate program of choice may not be available, or they have not been admitted to it at Stanford. There are factors in players lives that we are not aware, and these factors may have more importance than football or Stanford.
I transferred to Stanford and gave up a year of Basketball eligibility (was co-captain my junior year). Did not play Basketball at Stanford instead studied hard and completed a co-term engineering degree in 2 years. My priority was academics over sports.
Better to have positive messages than to have the program sledged on social media as they leave.
Congrats! That is terrific.
I will admit to being a grouchy old fart at times. And it’s not so much the player that spends 4 years and moves on in a graduate program. It’s more the guys that just go from program to program. What led to my post was Dillion Gabriel’s “heartfelt” message to Sooner land as he looks for his third program. In what must be his 8th year of College Football.
