Re: Class of 2017 - Bruce Wang - 02-06-2015

Dylan,  son of Ed, brother of Christian, is a 2017 QB. He got offered by Colorado. People predict he will come to Stanford. We will see if our coach sticks to his newly announced policy of taking a QB every other year. I don't think it's a good idea and I don't buy it. We did go after Town and Wimbush.

Bailey Hockman received an offer this week so he's first in line to be the QB for our 2017 class.

Apparently this offer announcement isn't all it seems to be....yet.

He clarified this a bit more recently. I don't think he's against taking a QB every year. He just wanted a break this year. He even hedged on whether or not it's a good idea to take two in one class. If there's a good one available, I think that trumps any general recruiting policy they might have.

Re: Class of 2017 - BostonCard - 02-23-2015

I agree with Hank.  Plus I don't believe you can survive without taking a QB most years.  Certainly, if you took a QB every other year, you could be in a position of having only two QB's on the roster (a redshirt junior and a redshirt freshman), which is untenable.  I think you probably want to have four QB's on the roster most times.  That means that assuming you are redshirting all your QB's you are taking a QB four out of five years, and more if there is attrition or position switches.

Because Crower isn't coming back, by not having taken a QB this last year we might be cutting it a bit close.  We will have three QB's on the roster (Hogan, Burns, Chryst) and a former QB (Dallas Lloyd) who could probably switch back if there was an emergency.  We will again be in a tight spot the following year, with Hogan leaving, as we will have Burns, Chryst and a true freshman (Costello?), who would hopefully redshirt.  Even the following year might be tenuous; if Chryst were to win the starting battle over Burns, the latter might chose not to come back for a fifth year or become a graduate transfer (in which case we would have Chryst, Costello (or other 2016 recruit), and a 2017 true freshman).

I have a feeling we will be taking a QB every year for the next few years out of necessity, unless we take two QB's one year (or take somebody who goes on a mission).

Agree that taking a QB every year should be the goal.  Attrition through transfer and graduation as well as the prospect that the player is not as good as evaluated almost requires recruiting a QB every year.  What if we had not taken Hogans because we had Nunes and Nottingham (neither worked out very well).

Hopefully TJ Green, Trent's son, enrolls as a preferred walk-on to help ease the lack of numbers at the QB position, even if he never sees the field

TJ Green committed to Northwestern, unfortunately

Re: Class of 2017 - Bruce Wang - 02-27-2015

We are in the top 5 for Osiris St Brown (yes Equanemous's younger brother).  Maybe the sibling rivalry and the tendency for younger siblings to be more athletic works in our favor.

Haven't heard of Anthony Hines III before, but apparently Stanford offered him.

Shaw seems to feel that attrition through transfer is in fact promoted by having too many qbs on the roster at one time - which is undoubtedly true. If you take lots of qbs, I guess the hope would be those transfering out are less good than those staying - which may or may not be true.

The "what if we had not taken Hogan" could be said about any qb that ever started. A more interesting aspect on Hogan is that was a year two qbs were taken: Hogan and Crower. Others have noted Hogan was the second qb taken, which is true by commitment date. Whether that was true by priority is less clear. Hogan was higher rated by most services, but don't know if that was true by Stanford.

Broadly, Harbaugh liked recruiting qbs, Shaw much less so. Since Harbaugh started we took the following:
2007 - Crow, Kiilsgaard  [initially commited to Wlat]
2008 - Luck
2009 - Hill (mission), Nunes
2010 - Daniel, Lloyd (mission), Nottingham
2011 - Crower, Hogan    [initially commited to Harbaugh]
2012 - None
2013 - Burns
2014 - Chryst
2015 - none

Stanford appears to have really good traction with some of the elite sophomores it offered.  Here's another:

A Heimuli-Lund/Browning combo at ILB sounds good.

I would love that combo even if only for a couple of years because I have feeling that Heimuli-Lund may be taking a mission.

Great story about Sione here:
