Lara said “This program has meant so much to me, and I will always be thankful for my coaches, teammates and the entire community that have supported me along the way.”

Nunu said “To my coaches, training staff, and support staff, thank you for your time, effort, and investment in me. Thank you for believing in me and helping shape me into the person I am today. I am truly grateful.”

Courtney said: “To my coaches, thank you for the chance to compete and be a part of the women’s basketball program.”

Facts.

I think there is another fact that you might be discounting (credit to Griffins78 for starting the compilation of the following data):

2026 Transfers Out (so far):
Nunu Agara (Forward): Entered portal.
Lara Somfai (Forward): Committed to TCU.
Courtney Ogden (Forward) Entered portal.--grad transfer
Harper Peterson (Forward): Entered portal.
Mary Ashley Stevenson (Forward): Entered portal.
Carly Amborn (Guard): Entered portal
Chloe Clardy (Guard): Entered portal

2026 Transfers In (so far):
<none>

2025 Transfers Out:
Tess Heal (Guard): Transferred to Kansas State.
Jzaniya Harriel (Guard): Transferred to SMU--grad transfer

2025 Transfers In:
<none>

2024 Transfers Out:
Kiki Iriafen (Forward): Transferred to USC--grad transfer

2024 Transfers In:

Jordan Hamilton from Northwestern--grad transfer

2020 Transfers Out:
DiJonai Carrington to Baylor--grad transfer
Estella Moschkau to Wisconsin--grad transfer

2020 Transfers In:

I accept that grad transfers belong in a class by themselves, but the fact is that Stanford currently has 6 non-grad-transfers in the portal which exceeds the total number of non-grad transfers over the previous 6 seasons. So if the coaches are not the reason why players are leaving, what is?

Thanks for this post, I would add 2017 Transfer Out:  Lili Thompson (Guard): Grad transfer to Notre Dame
Seven players now in portal ...
