Anyone else entirely distracted by the status of Bailey McElwain?  He's pro-Stanford on Twitter, including positive comments about Pryts today, yet he hasn't sent in his letter of intent and the coaching staff has effectively said that the class is done.  He's apparently having a signing ceremony with others at his high school right now, but since the class is already at the limit of 25 (and the staff has said that we've received "all 25 letters of intent" we expect today), he can't be signing a letter of intent.

Could be a non-binding letter of acceptance, I suppose.  But I crave resolution.

I can't give you resolution, but a few words on what seem the most logical rumors.

McElwain seems perhaps to not yet be accepted to Stanford. Sounded more like something was missing rather than something wasn't good enough, but I don't know. At any rate, Stanford has tweeted that all NLIs are in, so I wouldn't expect anything more today from McElwain (though I suppose he might explain his situation to a reporter).

It seems likely that the two LDS mission candidates (Fehoko and Kaufusi) may not have actually signed NLIs. This is just my surmise given that there is a limit of 25 NLIs that Stanford can accept and that in a practical sense, an NLI will be meaningless if they go on a mission. Nevertheless, Stanford football is commenting upon these two so they must have signed something. An alternative possibility is that they signed a written letter of acceptance. That would also allow Stanford to comment and would have some meaning (they are accepted).
