Reposting what I posted on the paid board. Since I suspect we aren't going to hear anything more from Donohue, and the portal is about to close, the status quo will largely be what we are stuck with for the next year. With that:

Donohue has left the program in a horrible state. Apparently KP and coaching staff are staying on, but with an impossible mandate: make the tournament. Ain't happening.

Almost no one is going to come to Stanford since players talk and clearly are, and our coaching staff has the Scarlet letter. Certainly, no one of the caliber we're used to and need to get back to the Tournament. 

Folks, our lineup is in shambles. Hailee, Alex, and Shay are solid. But that's it. Right now we don't even have enough healthy players on campus to have a starting lineup. Even if Umeh is healthy, she's played a total of 156 minutes in college. That's 4 games. Ezike played 36 minutes. That's 1 game. That's all our returning production.

Our incoming class is the least touted in modern history. Even the years where we didn't get McD's A-As we had multiple recruits ranked in the 20-40s. This class barely has top 100 recruits, and they'll need to be day one starters. And one is a 5'6" PG like Shay, so how's that gonna work? Two 5'6 PGs, two 6'4/5 posts, and Hailee? 

I guess Donohue has the luxury of looking the other way for a year, focusing on football, and cleaning house then. For the rest of us, it'll be a massive stain on the program, Tara's legacy, and probably on our viability to get back to the tournament for the next half decade.

So incredibly sad this is happening because it was utterly avoidable.
