Retaining talent This Year is very important to our future.  I F Nunu and Clardy leave, or even just Nunu, we will be branded as a farm team where you go to get talent rather then waste time developing it yourself. Every effort, whether it’s financial (NIL), coaching relationship , team mate interaction, mental health or Stanford being a welcoming, enjoyable place to live and study has to,be made and made now.

I fear that if I were 19 or 20 years old and a very good player I would be tired of losing and tired of being in a second rate program for the rest of my career. The lure of a good team with a pleasant campus experience and an exciting future would be very great .

I think Levin’s leadership will get the Stanford experience back on track and that Kate Paye has the talent and moxie to lead amd to convince that this is a one year trough , not a trend. I’m optimistic but very worried . I just hope everyone understands that this year and the next few months are very, very important. We have to realize that the old model based on the perceived value of a.stanford degree will no longer work.

Optimistic but frightened.
