On the possibility of excessive offers, you can go back to the mini chart that I prepared. http://thecardboard.org/board/index.php?topic=12025.0
Hulk gave comments on some specific players, but didn't dispute the overall tenor.
If you add up the commits, locks, likely, and good shot recruits who have offers, you get something like 20, even if you include Fehoko who I understand is going on a mission. Then add Long, and you're at 21. Four spots for elite recruits who are "a shot" or "long shot" is plenty. The reality is that Stanford will have to offer more guys at almost every position. If Stanford gets incredibly lucky, it will "have to" take an extra elite recruit beyond the team's level of need at one or two positions. For example, worst case, Stanford is forced to take Long, Robertson, Crawford and McKinley at WR. If that happens, I would not be concerned about finding room. There will be room for those guys.

When I registered here in 2014, TrumpCard seemed like an apolitical user ID...
