Casey Tucker, after once planning on being an early enrollee, has now decided to complete his Senior year and enter college in the Fall, not Spring.

This news is obviously good for Stanford, but what I found interesting is how the story gave insight into how the Stanford coaching staff is competing against early entries.  Apparently Stanford coaches are telling recruits that there are statistics available that show most early entries suffer injuries in Spring because they aren't physically ready to compete with more physically developed players.

Makes a lot of sense, and certainly can be backed up by how Stanford treats every recruit as if rehabbing from injury, before they even get into the Turley S&C program, as was mentioned in an interview Lombardi did a few months back.
