According to 247sports Ricky Miezan was offered by Harvard, so there's that.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)

Well at least nobody blames Thunderdome for losing recruits anymore. We all lost a ton of sleep worrying about that every first Wednesday in February.....not.

Notwithstanding CTCard's excellent points about the staff's process and why that has come about, and your points about how those decisions are handicapping us in this brave new world of early signings, I did want to take issue on your quote about "they've missed out on a number of their top targets already". The "early" signing day isn't for another 10 months, and any potential top target still has a chance to enroll in two AP classes and take the SAT multiple times before submitting an application to Stanford.
The short versions is that while I acknowledge that it is harder to flip a recruit currently committed to another school, there are plenty of cases of recruits changing their commitment, especially those committed a full 18 months before enrollment. If we want a recruit, and they are willing to put in the work, nothing irreversible has happened, yet.
