Message: [QUOTE="Surly1, post: 4268000, member: 11599"] For the second year in a row, there has been an exodus of players from the team. Last year, Taylor Mikesell transferred to Ohio St and fared extremely well. Jaz Shelley had a wonderful season at Nebrask, Taylor Chavez went to Arizona and Angela Dugalic to UCLA. This season, 3 of their Fab Five recruits are leaving after their sophomore season. Either they were overrated, or the players ahead of them were much better. Regardless, you don’t see this type of exodus occur often, the exception being the debacle at Syracuse. Every highly recruited player wants playing time. Stanford has a packed roster, but players seldom transfer out. Graves is an outspoken coach and hasn’t lacked for drama this year: the brouhaha with Aida Barnes at Arizona & calling out his players as feeling “entitled.” A proven leader doesn’t criticize in public. Graves may be a great recruiter, but with the exception of his during the pandemic year, has under achieved on the court. [/QUOTE]
