This comes down to a ND vs Stanford battle and look who has had more success with guys going to the NFL at the OL postion? ND. Remember when Stanford had 4 or 5 stud OL guys in their recruiting class how many of them are making an impact on NFL teams?

DeCastro is All-Pro

Washington is very much in it until you see him say otherwise in a video interview.

Stanford had four 4/5 star OL's in '12.
- Peat left early and went first round and started for the Saints last year.
- Garnett went first round to the 49ers this year.
- Murphy went mid/late round to the Vikings because of questions about athleticism.
- Shuler quit football like Elmer did.

Fleming and Yankey went in the '14 draft. Fleming starts for the Patriots. Yankey got waived and picked up by the Titans/Panthers/Jags(?)

I wouldn't use the recent past as your argument. They match up favorably with ND if not better if you go back far enough to DeCastro.

On top of that... Stanford's OL recruiting has stunk it up from '13-'15. '16 was better but not great. Stanford has mostly low/mid 80's/3 star lineman in the two deep right now. Case Tucker is the only 90+ and he's also the only Cardinal that had an ND offer. But is that something to mention? If Foster goes to Palo Alto, he's playing EARLY and often. There are no guarantees when he'll play at ND.

Each program offers advantages on the field. I'd show him gameday crowd footage inside and outside of each stadium. Nothing screams snooze fest like a Stanford - Arizona or Wash St home game. I'd also impress upon him how football is part of ND's DNA whereas it slots in between women's volleyball and men's golf on the sport hierarchy at Stanford.

There are many people saying that distance is going to be a big factor and that he will pick Stanford.

Fack.

It is what it is. We have some great OL talent on the board. I'm hoping Hainsey jumps on board within a week or so. Still hate losing out on this guy but we will be just fine.

calvegas04 · Jul 9, 2016

would be cool if ND could do a home and home with Washington

For once, can Loy be wrong and it actually be good for us?

NDVirginia19 · Jul 9, 2016

I feel like all it should take to win over a Stanford guy is to go on an OV to both and realize it isn't as fun to play in front of 45,000 people, half of whom are supporting the visiting squad

Here's a diary that Foz is doing with the Tacoma paper. Might catch some insight as the time goes on.

Scout national guys loved him this week. May make him #1 overall. Also, he's torn about ND. Family loved ND and HH. Feel he's a father figure but the travel to visit is the hesitation. Looking to OV for Stanford game.

ND needs to work a deal with Allegiant Air to add a non stop once/twice a month to Seattle, Dallas and LA/OC like they do Vegas, PHX, Orlando, Tampa, Miami.

He's my #1 want in the class, and I'm going to lose my mind when he ends up at Stanford.

Need to convince the family that distance isn't a problem. Where there's a will, there's a way.

Need to convince his family that Washington is where its at--revenge for Demetrius Robertson.

Veritate Duce Progredi · Jul 11, 2016

Let's hope Foster has some internal development and realizes it'd be best to go to ND, barring that, I don't want him to just choose ND if his heart isn't in it. Those players rarely work out.

Some push through the initial feelings of distance, etc. But if he can't stomach the distance, better to find someone else.

Which really sucks because he's a monster talent who HH could've added to his list of players put in the league.

Wiltfong went with SU back in mid March. I believe the first to call SU.

Com'on Harry!

From ISD podcast, if you don't want him at Stanford, pray that he doesn't get in there. Even if that happened, Washington might be the winnder. Everyone is reporting distance matters.

This kid is my #1 want left for OL. He is extremely humble, well spoken, and seems like he would be a brawler on the line. Think he would mesh well with the team. Seems like he spoke pretty well about us, but did light up when talked about the weather in Palo Alto.

NDVirginia19 · Jul 11, 2016

Yeah, something about hearing him talk and the way he carries himself makes me thing that getting into Stanford isn't going to be an issue...

He's everyone's number 1 for this class for good reason. As many said he could end up being the number 1 overall recruit on many sites for 2016.

Still think he ends up at Stanford.

Can you explain this post to me? It's very GBdomer like

Before I go to bed I will never pray about a 17 year old kid and his college decision

The only way he's not going to Stanford is if he's not admitted.

If that happens, Washington might be his next choice because of distance.

Thank you, Frank Buncom all over again. I know we beat Stanford a lot head to head but some loses we have to them just really sting
