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:
Tess Heal from Santa Clara
Mary Ashley Stevenson from Purdue

2023 Transfers Out:
Lauren Betts (Center): transferred to UCLA
Indya Nivar (Guard): Transferred to North Carolina
Agnes Emma-Nnopu (Forward): Transferred to TCU--grad transfer

2023 Transfers In:
<none>

2022 Transfers Out:
Jana Van Gytenbeek (Guard): Transferred to Baylor
Jenna Brown to Notre Dame--grad transfer

2022 Transfers In:
<none>

2021 Transfers Out:
Maya Dodson to Notre Dame--grad transfer

2021 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:
<none>

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?

Truth. 

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.

Again - what's your interest here? You never posted until this week, and basically only about this. It's a little odd.

Also: all of those statements could apply to some but not all of the coaches. In particular, Nunu and Courtney were both coached by Tara and Amy. Heck, it could even refer to past coaches. I don't think those are the redemptive messages you think they are. They are boilerplate.

I sucked it up and subscribed to that other site - I am now very convinced there was mental and verbal abuse and also that it's likely a matter of when, not if, Kate is gone. Hopefully it's before everyone in the portal has left for good, although I'm uncertain if it's salvageable regardless.

Chloe hasn’t posted. 3 posted positively about coaches. 1 mentioned the coaches. 2 did not.

(Note: I am assuming AlwaysRight properly quoted the players. I haven't confirmed those quotes.)

AlwaysRight, thank you for posting this.  After all, 2006alum wrote earlier "I implore any of you to read the players statements. They are so obviously examples of "say you're leaving because of the coaching staff without saying you're leaving because of the coaching staff."  "

2006alum, why are you questioning the poster's interest?  He/she posted facts in that post.  If you have a issue with the accuracy of those facts, question that.

Frankly, I am ready to tune out this echo chamber of opinions, opinions about opinions, opinions about opinions about opinions, ad infinitum.

No one is forcing you to stay in this thread if you find its direction uninteresting.

And AlwaysRight cherry picked the only three vaguely favorable references to the coaching staffs out of 7 portal announcements. The other four said nothing, and several were quite damning. I'm beginning to wonder whether they are connected to one of the coaching staff members - which is fine - in fact, I'd welcome their perspective. But whereas the rest of us are all well known long-time fans of the program, I have no idea what this poster's agenda is.

I’ll be blunt here. I’ve been around for 30 years on these sites but I don’t post that often. However some recent posts really rub me the wrong way. 

2006alum, we get that you’re a rabid fan. But what gives you the right to question a new poster’s motivations just because he/she just opened a Cardboard account? Shouldn’t this community embrace newcomers rather than be suspicious of them? Isn’t that the spirit that will drive the expansion of Cardinal fandom - which we all agree is a good thing? Or are we just a snotty little circle of handwringers who want to wallow in the exclusivity of our despair?

Now that’s probably not your intent, but gosh, that’s how it comes across to me.  Lighten up, Francis!
