We'll see what these kids decide after we thump the Ducks in Autzen.  8)

From your lips to God's ears, Marty.

Seriously, this has nothing to do with wins/losses not at this point of the season at least. This has everything to do with marginal academic profiles whose early indicators suggest the Stanford path just isn't going to work out for them.

Kids can be mercurial, but I think it's rare to find any that will make a college decision based on the outcome of one game. They mostly go where they feel the most "comfortable", which of course means different things to different people. I think when you are going after highly rated prospects, elite academics can be a double edged sword. It appeals to some of them, but may actually be a negative for others.
