Just read Dalton carries a 3.9 GPA so he is a high probability admit. Not committing must mean he's seriously considering other schools.

Interesting quote about Hood and why he decommitted from ND.
Quote:After taking several visits to Notre Dame earlier in the year, a July visit didnt go so well, Hoods father, Vee Hood, said.
Something happened the last time he went up there that he didnt like, Vee Hood said. Something changed his mind immediately. He was scared to tell us. I said theres no need to be scared. Its his decision. I told him, Youve got to be happy wherever you choose to go. I know hes not going to be going to Notre Dame, and I guess that means hes open to (all colleges) again.

SO hopefully it has nothing to do with distance from home and he'll look at Stanford.

FWIW most of the recruiting pundits think he will choose Stanford. From what I've seen they have been pretty accurate so far this year.
I do think you are right in that he is not 100% sold on Stanford at this point; hopefully he will be in time.
P.S. That would be something if the NCAA passed a rule that prohibited players parents from talking to recruits parents. Knowing the NCAA though, I can't say it would shock me.

Not sure McCaffery is an every down running back in college. If he isn't this may be two classes in a row when we haven't got one.

Looks like we're going for a different kind of back in this class. Isaiah Brandt-Simms is a track guy who'll be used on offense.

Jabrill Peppers made the SC Top 10 tonight with this run. I really think Michigan will consider playing him at RB.

Not to diminish his effort, but the more high school highlights I see the more I am convinced tackling is a lost art in high school.
Did we ever get a consensus on why he didn't more seriously consider Stanford? Grades, distance from home, or something else?

1. Its a Highlight of a RB its kind of silly to expect good tackling
2. I think grades, supposedly he tweeted after taking the SATs insinuating he didn't think he did good.

Poor tackling by a few, perhaps. But the entire defense? Well, maybe.

I don't know about that. I'd be much more impressed by a 20-yard run against a great run defense than I would be by a 99-yard touchdown against a bunch of guys who have no idea how to tackle. And I would think any good college coach would see it the same way.
