She's not counted in this gostanford article either.

She transferred (with some unknown but fairly obvious conflict with Tara and/or Stanford) and she identifies her college as Baylor. If she identifies as a Baylor alum, I don't see any reason that we should claim her as our own. I think it is extremely disingenuous of her when she occasionally claims that she is being dissed when she identifies as a Baylor alum not a Stanford alum. She made her choice. I don't think we need to look any deeper than that for Stanford moving on.

Tiger Woods and Sophia Smith each only competed at Stanford for 2 years and Stanford has no problem claiming them. Like Kiki, Dijonai completed her Stanford degree before she transferring. I don't understand treating an athlete as "persona non-Stanford" based on their choice of grad school.
Also, Harvard had no problem claiming McKenzie Forbes when she was drafted by the Sparks. Forbes is a Harvard grad, end of story. It doesn't matter that she attended USC for grad school. Harvard Basketball's Instagram Account
