ESPN put out a set of predictions of where kids will land: http://insider.espn.go.com/college-sport...l-recruits
They provide a "confidence meter" for each recruit. Here's what they say for kids going to Stanford:
Seems like a pretty good foundation for a class if we can pull it off. But you'd like to think a team with 3 top-10 finishes, BCS bowls and a conference championship would be able to land more than 4 of the "top 150 players." How are people feeling about the 2014 class at this point? Is Stanford tracking well? Last year everyone seemed to be putting a lot of expectations on this coming class after last year's relatively small group. Do people think it will pan out as hoped?

Stanford
Pittsburgh could be an intriguing choice -- his uncle is the head coach -- and Alabama and USC will continue to push, but Stanford likely has too much going for it for the other schools to overcome. Chryst goes to high school across the street from the Stanford campus and the memory of what Andrew Luck did on The Farm is still strong for Chryst.
Quote:Solomon ThomasCoppell, Texas/CoppellESPN 300 RANK: 33POS: DEHT/WT: 6-3/256STARS:Medium confidence
Stanford
Thomas is about as tough to read as any recruit nationwide, simply because he truly doesn't know where he wants to go. He doesn't even have a list of favorites right now. But the Cardinal are the team to beat because of what they offer academically as well as their need at DE. Texas is in the mix, and Arkansas is a dark horse.
Quote:Casey TuckerChandler, Ariz./HamiltonESPN 300 RANK: 39POS: OTHT/WT: 6-6/290STARS:Medium Confidence
Stanford
Tucker, a former USC commit, enjoyed a visit to Palo Alto, Calif., in late May and has Stanford near the top of his list. The Cardinal have featured arguably the best offensive line in the Pac-12 in recent years and Tucker is drawn by the combination of football and academics.

Stanford
Schultz understands the recent history of tight ends at Stanford and is intrigued by the Cardinal. Although he will do his homework on all of his offers, and other Pac-12 programs will go after him hard.
