A quote from Drukarev on five-star cornerback Darnay Holmes: "If Akina is still around, it will be hard for any other school to get Holmes."

"If Akina is still around"??? Is there something afoot there or is his contract up after this season? Inquiring minds would like to know...

There isn't any concern right now, but inevitable future offers leave a question like this open. Hopefully, he loves the way our coaching staff operates versus other schools not to mention working with Stanford athletes (fewer headaches off-the-field or in the classroom).
Re: Class of 2017 - socalstanfan1 - 08-04-2015
I'm going to guess with Akina that, given his resume, at some point some NFL team could float him an offer. That might be as big a threat as another college program (unless he has made it clear at some point that he sees himself as simply a college coach, but I've never heard that).
Re: Class of 2017 - Hank 91 - 08-04-2015
My big regret from last week's media day is that I didn't get to ask Shaw about Akina and his impact on the defense this past year. It would be great to know his opinion.

The guy has been coaching in college for longer than I've been alive. I'm not sure exactly when he turned into a DB guru, but it seems like that's also been a while. Things change, obviously, but he's in his late 50's and has been a college DB coach or DC for like 30 years, it's probably just what he wants to do.

Mills is the 247 consensus #5 pro-style QB. (Which means little so early in the process, of course, but just for a heuristic...) Offers from Auburn, UCLA, Louisville...
Re: Class of 2017 - washingtonismoney - 08-04-2015
Whoa. Shaw breaks with past practice and offers *two* QBs: https://twitter.com/JakeBentley19/status/628651031535177729
Bentley is the consensus #9 pro-style QB (per 247 again), and has offers from Auburn, Clemson, Duke...

Good point. And the same logic applies to anxiety about Akina becoming a DC in the college game. If it hasn't happened so far, with his track record, is it really likely to happen at this point.
Could be that Akina is one of those rare people who has really found his calling, and won't be swayed by a somewhat larger paycheck and status to drift from it. If that's the case, its good news for us.

Re: Class of 2017 - Papa John - 08-08-2015
It looks like Tyreke Johnson is our first offer for the class of 2018. Time to start a new thread?
Re: Class of 2017 - yvonne - 08-09-2015
You mean in addition to the Class of 2018 thread?
Re: Class of 2017 - kuz - 08-09-2015
According to Drukarev, he does not actually have an offer yet.
