Hey at least we aren’t Iowa St with so far 10 players transferring including Crooks of course, or Tennessee with exactly 1 player on the roster. Yes 1. Do you forfeit a season? Play with 1 scholarship player and 14 walk ons? Ok obviously they will add transfers, but folks this isn’t sustainable.
And correction - as of 4 hours ago Tennessee has exactly as many rostered players as my fictional basketball team, meaning none. O. Nada. Nobody.
I don't want to tempt the woofing gods but agree with the point that Stanford is not alone in this problem. We used to think that Stanford might be immune because of our recruits and their interest in academics but we face the same problem that a lot of other schools face. On the Boneyard, there is a list of schools and the number of transfers out. At the top is Pitt with 13, then Iowa State with 10 and Penn State, Oklahoma State, Georgia and Arkansas all with 9. Then there are 13 more schools before you get to the cohort with 5 transfers out which includes Stanford.
