What I see is an application submitted during the regular decision timeframe with an expedited decision so that the student-athlete can enroll winter quarter.

As a WVB fan here is my concern.  She was the starter at Maryland.  At Stanford if Parks and Yu are healthy Wagner will likely be a third string setter seeing no meaningful playing time.  Will she decide warming the bench is not her thing and go back into the transfer portal in December.  I don't know but it's a concern.

Well - sure she could and this is happening in other sports (e.g. Stanford MBB with Oziyah Sellers here for just a year after transferring from USC, then moving on to St. Johns), and other schools - there're just no guarantees on retaining players anymore in this day and age of NIL, the portal, etc. As BC points out, the same is true with verbal commitments, commits can flip any time.
