Re: Class of 2017 - BigEasyCard - 01-31-2017

With Ryan Johnson's commitment, the Cardinal move up to #14 on Rivals: https://n.rivals.com/team_rankings/

USC is highest Pac 12 school at #9.

Cardinal stand third behind Alabama and Ohio State in average rating per recruit.

Geaux Cardinal!


Re: Class of 2017 - Bruce Wang - 01-31-2017

If we got Warner, which is looking unlikely at this point, we would have at least one 4 or 5* at every position group (excluding kickers) in this class: QB, RB, TE, WR, OL, DL, DB, and LB.

After Ryan Johnson's commitment, here's an SEC perspective on competing with Stanford for recruits:

Geaux Cardinal!


Re: Class of 2017 - Treebound - 01-31-2017

Thanks Big Easy!
That's a great article and you need to appreciate the author's candor:

"THIS IS STANFORD WE’RE TALKING ABOUT. I’m not in the advice business. But, if I were, every recruit with a Stanford offer and admission would get my best never-turn-down-Stanford bit. It’s one of the finest institutions in America and, oh, yeah, the Cardinal are making a killing on the recruiting trail in 2017."

I'm very excited about this year's class and the impact that they will have on the program.  Hat's off to Shaw and the rest of the staff and here's hoping they aren't quite finished!


Re: Class of 2017 - fullmetal - 01-31-2017

Dead period notwithstanding, that is some solid work from Shaw and co.  If Ryan wants to be the next Solomon Thomas, the table is laid out before him--all he has to do is eat!


Re: Class of 2017 - Papa John - 01-31-2017

Director of Recruiting Mike Eubanks, intentionally or not, insinuated just after Ryan Johnson commitment tweet that there are no more 2017 commitments in the offing:

"With a small number of scholarships to give, @StanfordFball delivered [emphasis mine] brobdingnagian."

Not expecting Warner to join the class, but until he actually makes an announcement I'm hopeful this is a situation like Ricky Seale, who literally was admitted the night before signing day, if memory serves, and faxed his LOI to Stanford the next day.

Hope springs eternal.


Re: Class of 2017 - slide - 01-31-2017

I think Bradford was even later than Seale.

"They have a great tutor program."

Can't disagree with that one. :)

They have a great discount on crab legs.

Publix has a big screen over the door as you go in these days, with a warning to shoplifters. Maybe the discount on crab legs is tougher to get.

The "five-finger" discount is ALWAYS available.  :P

Re: Class of 2017 - Hey - 02-01-2017

Not for nothing, but Rhodes Scholar Myron Rolle played there. 


Re: Class of 2017 - Bruce Wang - 02-01-2017

It's disappointing that Warner did not end up with us.  Wish him the best, and bet that he's the least likely kid on the team to need the tutors.  He likely will use it to enhance his education.

That's two classes in a row without an ILB.  Considering how our scheme funnels offenses into the middle of the field, we will need to convert some players or change schemes.  Good thing we prospectively have a great offense.

I do not follow recruiting closely at all, but GoStanford.com lists Levani Damuni as an ILB. Is the thinking that he's not going to end up playing there?
