I posted on one other thread. 

Easy to find all my posts.

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.

(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.

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!

Perhaps my experience is informed by Lauren Betts's mom repeatedly posting a few years back consistently critical commentary about the coaches, the usage patterns for Betts, etc. If she had just said from the outset - hey, I'm Lauren Betts's mom, and I'm troubled by what I'm seeing! Fine. Great. We now know what the basis for their commentary is. But it got a little suss when they clearly had a motivated interest they refused to disclose.

Based on that experience, I am a little wary of new posters who only post about a specific topic, with what seems like an interest-motivated perspective. "Farmerguy" is similarly new to the board, introduced themselves and their interest in this topic, and it didn't bother me in the slightest.

But in any event, I'll stand down going forward, because I've pretty much said all I have to say, and this thread can carry on lamenting about NIL and the portal.

It was suggested to include Marisa Ingemi from the SF Chronicle in emails sent. 

Got my AD response just now. Maybe a decision soon if he’s responding. Yes the form letter

Same. It felt like a lot of law-firm-advised boilerplate but the one thing it said very clearly is that whatever they do, the decision will be made next week.

I'm currently trying to guess which law firm is busily spending this weekend finishing up their internal investigation report...

Does anyone find it odd that (to my knowledge), the SF Chronicle has not published one story about the exodus of Stanford players, let alone other brewing issues?  In today's paper there is a story about your star (men's) basketball freshman leaving the program, but nothing on the multiple transfers for WBB.  What do you think might be going on with the lack of news?
