I recall Coach TT at end of season making it very clear he intends for Stanford to rely on recruiting graduating HS players as the primary way to build the roster. He really downplayed any expectation that Stanford would be very active in getting transfers. That being said, he is getting transfers anyway. Small numbers, but still important or potentially important guys. And the trend certainly is upwards from only a couple / few years ago.

In regards to the NCAA rule about transferring once, but for a second time needs a hard-to-get waiver, that restriction seems to have fallen under pretty successful legal attack.

From a recent article on CBC news site:

"The NCAA is now staring down a new legal opponent as the U.S. Department of Justice joined a lawsuit from several states on Thursday challenging NCAA transfer restrictions. At stake is whether the NCAA will be allowed to continue mandating that second-time undergraduate transfers sit out a season before participating in competition.
A U.S. District Court judge issued a temporary injunction in the case on Dec. 13, leading to immediate eligibility for dozens of second-time transfer basketball players around the country. However, the fate of the rule beyond this academic year remains up in the air, pending the outcome of the case.
The NCAA faces a tough battle with the DOJ on board and 11 states now participating in the lawsuit, which asserts the NCAA's transfer rules are "an illegal restraint on college athletes' ability to sell their image and likeness and control their education." A trial date has note been set."
