When July ended in 2013, Stanford had 10 commitments.  That was after all camps were done.  This weekend is the last big camp weekend of the year on the farm, so one would expect a few more commitments then or shortly after.

One thing to consider is the Stanford football staff itself may be encouraging recruits to hold off on their commitments longer, until they are admitted, or have more data on who will be admitted.  Though admissions casualties have been relatively few, I'm sure each one pains the staff quite a lot.  I mean when Kirk Tucker was denied, it was like a death almost, when looking back on how proud and happy he was when he committed to Stanford.

One question I think all Stanford fans have is "when does the consecutive Rose Bowl bump" start showing up in recruiting?  It wouldn't be surprising if there is no such bump because there must be more talent with the academic chops to get into Stanford, for a bump to happen.  It just might not exist in this class.
