Although, if Alexander didn't get into Stanford, Mason has a fantastic segue opportunity. "Bummer about Stanford.... by the way, there's this outstanding academic institution in the SEC..."

Which is very good news. Stanford plays a 3-4 for several reasons. One of them is it is generally easier to get difference-making linebackers than staff a full 4-man D-line (with backups, too). Perez, Okereke and Alfieri a very good core group. I will continue, with limited skills, to seek out the video of the Stanford football camp where Perez won an offer by beating and even pushing around the camping OL that were blocking down on him in 1 on 1 drills. A lot of time you can't really discern speed differences in actual contact drills. You could with Perez, who consistently got low and made contact faster than the bigger guys were prepared for.
Am worried about loss of Tucker. He will be fine. We are on dangerously low on safeties, even with Dallas Lloyd switching.

Thanks. I'll add the full drill. Note: This was a lineman-on-lineman drill. Perez was the only non-lineman in the bunch. He was giving away 50 lbs. and 3-4" of height to every opponent. The beautiful one was when he drove back #71, guard Ross Pierschbacher (ranked #4 in the nation and a Bama commit). Pierschbacher got even a while later, but in the drill as a whole Perez out-quicked or held his ground against guys who should have been pounding him like tent stake. Bodes well for our LB corps.

Man, he looks tiny in those drills. ESPN says he's 6'1" and 210 lbs. That's small for a LB, but he uses his leverage well. It will be fun to follow him through his Stanford career.
Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip.

Rivals reporter posted that Lealao committed to Cal today, so it seems safe to say he was in fact denied by admissions.

Solomon Thomas has eliminated Ohio State and Texas. Down to Arkansas?, UCLA, and us. Ball is in Richard Shaw's court now.

Dammit I knew that. :-[ Just Montag paranoia this time of year.
I was worried about Texas (home team, new exciting coach) and even Ohio State (contender, legendary coach, better academics than people think). Now that those have been eliminated, why hasn't he committed?

His sister goes to Arkansas. UCLA is expected to do really well this year. They have a lot of returning players.

Nifae retweeted this yesterday, so I guess it's fair to say that he hasn't committed elsewhere, at least not yet.

Nifae today tweeted that he "decommitted from Stanford," and that he "just wanted to go somewhere different." Kal is considered the favorite, but Vandy also has offered.
01-23-2014, 07:06 PM
He's now considering cal, Oregon State, Utah, and Vanderbilt.
http://espn.go.com/blog/ncfrecruiting/on.../id/51266/
Judging by his tweets, (@NEE_Fee_ZEE), I'd say he's not staying in conference.
