Isn't the DL wish list:  Donnelly, Wilkins, Green?

It seems reasonable to think Donnelly and Wilkins might be realistic, but I've always doubted Green.  The trouble is Stanford really needs four DL, and maybe even five.

Parry, Anderson, and Lueders have all exhausted eligibility after this year.  Then throw in Nwafor's retirement, and subtract Kuamatule.  Three DL would seem to be the minimum, but only Donelly, Wilkins, and Green seem to be even possibilities, and none are committed.  Losing Manu and missing on C. Kaumatule were big blows for sure.

At this point the 2015 DL would be something like:

Thomas, Shittu, and Phillips, backed up by Lohn, Yazdi, Watkins and Hayes.  Any big bodied True Frosh DL will have a legit opportunity to play right away for Stanford in 2015, so that may in fact help the recruiting pitch a bit for DL.

Dylan Jackson is also in play https://rivals.yahoo.com/LSU/football/re...son-147710
