that we\'re taking two four-stars and one three-star without Carlisle makes us, if anything, too loaded at the position.

Linebacker is completely different.

Actually, Jordan Perkins, the three star, may be ready to jump, though from what I understand there may be an issue with admissions in his case.  I\'m not so bothered by the immediate depth chart at LB: S. Skov, C. Thomas, Leuders (if they don\'t move him to DE), all look great, and I have some high hopes for a couple of red-shirt freshen, Alex Turner and Joe Hemschoot.  Add in Vaughters and P. Skov and always intriguing Alex Debniak.

But Sarao\'s case is so clearly a case of someone jumping because Harbaugh, or maybe in his case Fangio, disappeared.  Garrett Gladd may have just wanted to stay closer to home; Carlisle seems drawn by Hollywood, Perkins may have an admissions issue.  

Maybe our attitude should just be good riddance; if you were not really in this for the total Stanford experience, be on your way.  Lets get back on the winning/recruiting wagon and kick U$C\'s collective a$$es for the next four years to provide both Carlisle and Sarao a regular reminder of where they COULD have been.
