FWIW, Anna replied regarding the Stanford leading video saying Robertson directly told Simmons that it was Stanford, ND then Bama and UGA. She also said she feels ND is very optimistic about the long haul.

The fact that Jake Brown hasn't been fired yet is one of the great mysteries in human history. He's the Roanoke Colony of recruiting services.

He is probably right now re-posting a breaking story about Dalien Hayes being interested in Notre Dame again. After he tweets something about the Cubs first.

I'd like to take a survey of recruits to see if any have ever actually spoken to Jake Brown, or if his job solely consists of reposting Tom Loy's 247 reports and retweeting recruits.

i saw the video of the "national recruiting analyst" stating stanford still leads...NOT one mention of him actually speaking w/ Robertson where the other 2 sites have...it was his opinion or at least that is how he conveyed it

I'm pretty sure he said he spoke with him.

Question is will a 10-2 season (pre-bowl) be enough to land all these borderline elite talents that we're in play for? Or are we going to need to fo CFP or bust with this?

I think if we only get to 9 wins a top level player, that values faith and academics, and sees the way he would fit into the team, etc. wouldn't be bothered by record. Manti and M Floyd are great examples.

I do think winning and the trajectory is important but I don't think we lose kids if the projection is solid

It's probably a sliding scale like most things. Look at our consensus class the year we make it to the natty? We even got smashed and still ended with a consensus top 3-5 class and many from that class are contributors to this team. Let's hope we have what it takes to make a run and Kelly will really be stacking talent.

I can get on board with most of this. Thanks for the input, guys.

Yeah, we talk about this every year on here and the best class we have had under Kelly came after the Natty appearance. We still will get some great players, but winning makes a huge difference. Beating LSU in the bowl game last year was huge! Losing to USC in 2011 was huge! They were just huge on different ends of the spectrum. Double digit wins are just as important as who you beat, and that is proven to be true more times than not. Sure there are exceptions with Floyd and Te'o, but there is always exceptions to the rule. Consistently winning, beating high profile opponents, and having momentum for the program at the end of the year are the biggest factors in my mind other than coaching changes, which again are exceptions to the rule.

At the moment, Stanford is still the leader for Robertson, with Alabama, Georgia and Notre Dame tied for No. 2 behind the Cardinal. The plan is to sit down and schedule official visits in the near future. His mother is hoping Georgia Tech gets an official. Signing day is still on tap for his decision date, giving Georgia plenty of time to make a move.

"Georgia is still up there," Robertson said. "I really like their coaching staff. I really love Georgia."

He's never even been to Stanford so I wouldn't read too much into that. I think it comes down to UGA and ND

Well, these kids have turned recruiting into great theater.
