Or maybe he just dislikes Stanford? Strangely enough, there are people who do not enjoy Stanford, for many and various reasons. Some of those people stay and get the degree (while hating every minute) because of the doors it opens, some don't. I have no idea to what extent that applies applies to Taitz, but that would make leaving without a degree less inexplicable.

Or maybe he wants to play.  Not like he got a ton of minutes.

True, that makes sense. However, as others have pointed out, he isn't a "pro" prospect. He isn't going to play much (if at all) after college. It probably would make sense to decide whether continuing to play more minutes of basketball for two or three years is "better" than getting a Stanford degree. Either choice is possible, but IMHO you only go with the basketball choice if you aren't otherwise enthused with your Stanford "experience". That's me, and I never had such a choice to make, so YMMV.

Practically every college D1 player thinks they are a pro prospect if they only get a chance to show what they can do.
