Stump will flip.
As the previous poster mentioned, the offer list offers significant insight into the specifics of recruiting dynamics (ie. 4 star with Yale, Harvard vs. 4 star without the same; former will more and most likely flip).
When was the last guy who had those attributes and offers who didn't join Stanford when he had an early offer? We pulled a similarly profiled Reilly Gibbons from the ether and he had committed to Miami.
To provide a counter to my question ("When the last guy...?"), the best answer was that Barker TE kid from Mass who went to Harvard and then dropped off the football team within the first year to play club lacrosse (Based on that, he was not a 'real' '4-star' to begin with, if you were to judge his star rating based on his skill set between the ages of 14-18, his performance in college, and his commitment to complete the NCAA college football experience).
