Looking at how the 2016 class closes out, based on what I can gather, it's looking like this:

Lock
DL Schaffer
DL Swann
LB McCullough

Possible
WR Stewart
WR Crawford
ATH Robertson
OL Powell
ATH Croom
WR Sanders

No chance
ATH Brandon Burton
CB David Long

Robertson still says Stanford leads and we're a month from signing day.  He'd be a lock but people here think admissions status is an issue.  I don't get the sense it is an issue for Schaffer, Swann, and McCullough.

I don't think Stanford gets both Stewart and Crawford.  They may not get either, but Michigan is after both, and it seems they want Stewart as a hedge against losing Crawford, and EUTM will only take one between the two anyway.

Powell seems the most likely of the possibles because Stanford needs another OL this class and he seems the only option after Herbig.  There are five WR options among Stewart, Crawford, Robertson, Croom, and Sanders.

I seem to recall that Wisconsin OL commit Patrick Kasl had early interest in Stanford, but I don't think that he got an offer.  I am reading that he has been getting a lot of interest lately from Vanderbilt and Minnesota.  He might be a great 2016 class add for tackle or guard.  I don't think that grades will be a problem ... he has 4.0 or something like that!

He also had the highest Nike SPARQ rating and fastest 20-Yard Shuttle time for an OL in the 2016 class! http://espn.go.com/college-sports/footba...trick-kasl
