Vandy plundering continues :( - washingtonismoney - 01-22-2014

In a double-whammy for Stanford fans rooting for the coaching tree, Mason's lost his quarterback recruit -- K.J. Carta-Samuels, a local (so presumably familiar with Mason's talents) -- and Washington's gained one. Petersen strengthening the Pac-12 North, which stinks.

Though, if I were Carta-Samuels, I wouldn't be too psyched about the reported hiring of...Karl Dorrell: http://footballscoop.com/news/12338-derek-mason-s-staff-is-coming-together-at-vanderbilt

Kenwick Thompson goes from assoc. HC at kal to DC at San Jose, to outside linebackers coach in an "as yet to be defined role." Doesn't sound like a guy who's been tearing it up -- though I am quick to acknowledge that Mason knows a lot more about coaching than I do...

I noted from that story that Mason has also taken with him Bill Hughan who was on Shannon Turley's staff.  And Mason has hired former Stanford player Jon Haskins as director of player personnel.  Is that similar to the job that Matt Doyle has now?

Stanford's staff continues to shrink.  No word on new hires from Shaw.  Hope that he can fill the holes by signing day which is now 2 weeks away.

To me it looks like, with the exception. On Mason, Sanford and Kotulski, the rest of these departures are from relatively low-placed assistants. I'm not so worried about those smaller gaps having a brobdingnagian impact on signing day. Now if Anderson were to jump, THAT could present problems. Thankfully, it looks like both Bloomgren and Hart will stay, which should help us with Tucker and Thomas, as they are the position coaches for those two targets. The loss of Kotulski and Mason could hurt with LBs and DBs, but so far it looks like everyone is holding.

One thing about students who choose Stanford: I think it is fair to say most of them really have chosen the University over a particular coach, as clearly was,the case with this year's class at Vanderbilt, who jumped ship once Franklin left. Of course, if Shaw left, we might be seeing more desertions from this class.

Carta-Samuels has some definite upside.  I saw half-a-dozen Bellarmine games, and while Coach Janda treats the forward pass like Woody Hayes, Carta-Samuels' few passes were often made on the run (thanks to Bell's undersized line) and many hit the receiver between the numbers -- before the receiver dropped them.  UW has made a big add here...

I bet Mason is recruiting our old friend Jabrill Peppers.  He recently opened up his recruitment.  And being Richard Sherman's position coach is a pretty damn good calling card nowadays.
