A couple things...
On Darnay Holmes... the issue was reported to be his desire to enroll in January, which Stanford doesn't allow. Aside from the fact all the reports of late still have him considering Stanford, Shaw said something interesting in his post-practice interview yesterday when asked about KJ Costello. He talked about how far ahead Costello is in his learning curve, in part because the True Frosh attend Spring practice, get videos of practice, , coaching notes, playbooks, and can use the VR system too, on top of the fact they can start practicing informally when they get on campus in Summer, and we've already heard about how Turley gives them workout and probably nutrition plans after signing. It basically sounded like an advertisement for how there really isn't much of a reason to pass on Stanford to enroll early at another school.
On Jaelen Phillips... There is a lot of talk about how many UCLA de-commits there have been, how Mora wasn't around for their Summer camps, rumors of him having an eye on the NFL, and it has only been hightened with the current Mique Juarez situation, a 2016 5-star LB recruit who isn't practicing and apparently wants to transfer. Perhaps the combination of too much drama in
Westwood, combined with Stanford's sure footed program, will make him flip to Stanford? I have no idea if he is filling out a Stanford application or taking AP classes, but if he is, the plot could thicken.
