Today the Stanford Class of 2018 will convene in Stanford Stadium for graduation. Among the 1500+ undergraduates receiving degrees are Robert Cartwright, Michael Humphrey, Dorian Pickens, and Reid Travis. The four of them have had a tremendous impact on the program.
They entered Stanford as the 12th ranked class in the nation, one of the best the school has ever managed. In their freshman year, they teamed up with some terrific upperclassmen en route to an NIT title in Madison Square Garden.
There were many bumps in the road, including a coaching change and two medical redshirts.
