Stanford redshirt junior RB Barry J. Sanders has been granted a release from the Cardinal and will transfer to another program.

Sanders was third on Stanford's depth chart this season behind Christian McCaffrey and Remound Wright. Sanders is on track to graduate this spring, and could be eligible for the 2016 season upon completion. As of now, he is prohibited from transferring to another Pac-12 program, but Oklahoma State could be the front runner for Barry Sanders' son. He rushed for 672 yards and five touchdowns in three seasons. Jan 6 - 9:01 AM

It seems that we are loaded up at AB, and at BB. I don't think GT would pursue him, nor would he want to come to GT with our running back depth.

I'd say he's a take if interested. Maybe Skov will get in his ear but on the other hand I don't think that experiment worked out as well as we had hoped for.

Can we get Christian McCaffrey instead?
Not interested - he is not the right talent level for our offense.
Also there is no film of him blocking and as we know it takes years to learn the precion timing and blocking.

There are many slower but possibly better blockers we can recruit.

I'm 100% convinced that was due to Skov being way more injured during the whole year than anyone led on.

While this is likely true, let's not pretend he didn't miss assignments and line up in the wrong place throughout the year. Not his fault, as he only played in the system for a few months before the season started. But I just don't think a healthy Skov would have resulted in any more wins. Regardless, MM next year should be better than a healthy Skov this past year.
