Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3113447, member: 9403"] The only pre-graduation transfers I am aware of are Taylor Rooks (recruiting class of 2014), who transferred to Harvard after her freshman year (and who was a grad transfer to Michigan this season), and Jamie Carey (who played in the late 1990s/early 2000s), who transferred to Texas after Stanford doctors wouldn't medically clear her to play again after several concussions - Texas doctors would. She went on to play in the WNBA for several seasons after graduation. The only transfer in that I can recall is Brooke Smith (recruiting class of 2002), who had turned down Stanford out of high school and then transferred from Duke. She was from the Bay Area, and wanted to be closer to home. Stanford accepts between 0-50 transfers per year [B][I]total[/I][/B], so athlete transfers of any kind are very uncommon. As to the question of playing time, Tara has been playing her bench much more this season as the differential between the bench and the starting 5 has narrowed in recent years. In a Princeton offense that is relatively positionless, I could see her opting for the more liberal substitution style that CTT runs at ASU. On the other hand, for whatever reason, frosh have historically not gotten a lot of playing time at Stanford, so I don't think many players come to the Farm thinking they should get to start on day one.
