If Winston commits, Stanford will have stolen the top recruit in Oregon for 3 consecutive years.

So, is Mike Eubanks now fully rehabilitated ... - Redrum - 06-18-2015

...and no longer dead to us?    Sort of like finding that Mikhael Gorbachev turned out to be a decently rational guy with a few worthwhile viewpoints on the state of Russian policy today.

It's good to be big... - Redrum - 06-18-2015

His highlight reel is loaded with size mismatches.    The good news is he wins the battles ( who doesn't on a highlight reel?). But he wins by:  Finishing, no matter how big his opponent and often driving his man well out of the play , moving well when he has to pull,  always looking for someone to hit.  The three things that are absolute requirements:  instincts, size and attitude all seem in place.

The Donald Stewart article that WIM posted has the following quote about getting a scholarship offer from Stanford:  "It's every true student-athletes [sic] dream."

I know it's a big stretch to say that Rashan Gary (3.85 reported GPA) considers Stanford a dream school, but is there a chance that Stewart's lavish praise will influence Gary?

This appears to be the leaderboard for all SPARQ scores at Nike camps and combines this year:
http://www.studentsports.com/football/2015/03/02/2015-nike-football-rating-leaderboard/

Presumably, they just have not updated for today's results.  Fehoko's score would rank 7th on this list for all SPARQ scores this year!

If you see similar results for SPARQ scores in past years, please post a link.  I'd be curious to compare across years.

Edit:  Some other notable results.  The second best performance by a realistic Stanford target is David Long at #41. 
Also, just general interest, Lavonta Taylor and Devin White are freaks of nature.  Taylor is #1 by a country mile.  White is at #12, but he's at least 30 lbs heavier than anyone else in the top 70.

Peter Kalambayi had a 129 a few years back: http://espn.go.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/combine/_/id/140430/peter-kalambayi

Malik Antoine ran a 4.78 40?  ???


Re: Class of 2016 - rudruff - 06-19-2015

Maybe he was carrying one of our DT recruits when he did that.


Re: Class of 2016 - Bruce Wang - 06-19-2015

My recollection was that Joey Alfieri excelled at SPARQ.

Here's an article that confirms this.

http://highschoolsports.oregonlive.com/news/article/-6523267161798236863/football-jesuits-joey-alfieri-shows-off-athleticism-at-the-opening/

TL;DR Alfieri scored 133. Good enough for a Top 10 finish and an invite to the finals.

Andy's got the scoop:

As many have noted in the past, Stanford has a has yield rate on camp offers.  The fact that the kid flew all the way from Hawaii to attend the camp shows that he has legitimate interest.

In 2017, Stanford probably will have 4 scholarship FBs on the roster.  Marx, Williams, McElwain and Heimuli.  Can't imagine many other schools will have as many.

Wow, St. Louis is turning into quite the Pac-12 feeder school (Mariota->Oregon, Kobayashi->LowAPR, and now this).

They have historically been one of the elite programs in Hawaii football for a very long time. They weren't always champs, but every game they played was a big game for their opponents.

I guess there were a few more in the Pac-12 than I remembered off the top of my head. Gesser (Wazzu), Masoli (Oregon), Kreutz (UW) were the ones that stood out, but there seem to be a few more.

Alualu I don't remember at all. And not sure if Fuamatu-Ma'afala counts since he went to Utah before they joined the Pac-12.
