no ILBs signed since Branch in '15? tough to play a 3-4 without ILBs.

Total failure of a class.

Well, if Stanford was a true powerhouse, football tail wagging the school dog kind of program, I'm sure the family would have found employment and housing in the Palo Alto, and the girlfriend would have been given a scholarship to attend Stanford.
I just don't think people in the sports media world have a true appreciation for how incredible it is for Stanford to compete at the highest levels of college football. The self-imposed restrictions the school places on itself, the impossibly small pool of recruits that can even get into Stanford, and then still having to compete with the local schools a kid has pulling at him, the lack of a massive and passionate fan base with incredible game day atmosphere, makes it just frankly amazing that Stanford can compete with its peers.

How come we can't get more graduate transfers? Stanford seems like an ideal destination for those above average players with good grades.

Hopefully the players themselves don't think so. Maybe they'll come in with a chip on their shoulders and just work harder.
Not to derail the conversation, but I thought this coaching staff's strength was in recruiting. What happened this year? 75th last I checked.

The ones that aren't good enough or are not interested enough in an NFL future probably want to move on from football. Not a very large pool left. Scarlett was an exception because he had so many injuries the NFL route wasn't open to him. For sure a special case.
