Would love to know the real story at Stanford. Seems the program has lost some stability

How many guys will they even have on scholarship next season?
For those players in the Transfer Portal who have graduated, David Shaw has said he encouraged many to enter because it is difficult to get into Stanford's graduate programs. However, in the past, Stanford has had many fifth years return. This year eleven of the nineteen redshirt Seniors have entered the Transfer Portal. Two others who placed their names in the Portal have pulled their names and are returning.
A couple of players in the Portal are walkons. Stanford does not necessarily publicize if walkons are given scholarships. Many walkons due end up with football scholarships since Stanford regularly falls short of eighty-five. University policy is that anyone whose family income is less than $125,000 gets free tuition.
My notes have Stanford currently at eighty-two scholarship players not counting any of those in the Transfer Portal returning. Andrew Pryts and Scooter Harrington have pulled their names from the Portal.

I think there was some truth to the fact that a lot of transfers were in case they didn’t get into a grad program at Stanford but man, they are really getting killed in the portal. If Michael Williams and Jovan Swann find new homes then they’re officially screwed. They’ll have 7 scholarship DLineman to play their 3-4. It’s such a limited amount of depth that idk what they’re gonna do there. They seem to have some good depth at WR, DB, and LB (maybe RB) but other than that they’ll be young behind almost all of their starters. There’s a possibility they come in undefeated into ND and off a bye week but I’m not sure they’ll be undefeated or fully healthy to face us. If they can stick to their starters then they’ll be a tough test but depth will be a concern for them next season.

they are becoming Charlie Weis era ND - a few studs on the offense (QB, WR, RB) but everything else thin and flaky

Well, they don't have much depth on defense but they do have some front line defenders that were coveted prospects.
Booker, Andres Fox, Tristain Sinclair, Stephon Herron, Joshua Pakola, and Ryan Johnson to name a handful. The key will be staying healthy.

IFFFF ND returns to prominence in the next 10 years, Stanford crumbling will quietly be a very big part of that.
We need every ~4.5 star true student athlete we can get.

I know you're a guy glass half empty, but ND has returned.
Idk if I'd say Notre Dame has returned, but this is the closest they've been to prominence in my lifetime. They'll have a chance to truly arrive on 11/7.

One hundred percent. It was around the early 2000's that I started to really get into ND football. How soon we forget the 2005 WE ARE BACK 9-3 campaign? We are getting really close.

It's all semantics lol. It depends on what you'd define as "prominence," that's all.
It's a subjective term when it comes to college football.
Some might consider a perennial top-10 team "prominent."
Some might not consider a team prominent until they're making the playoff once every two years (Clemson, Bama, OSU).
I'd say that ND has returned to prominence, but that's because of the way Bama, Clemson and OSU have distanced from the pack has skewed the way people view "success" these days. I don't think it's fair to knock down a team for being in the top-ten regularly without breaking through over the Big Three... it's just not feasible for most programs.
It used to be a huge deal to make the top-10 and contend for a BCS (NY6) bowl on a regular basis... but the race to be in the top-four has changed the conversation.

Yes, Stanford returning to mediocrity would be absolutely marvelous for us. Honestly, we need every academic team from areas we regularly recruit to remain mediocre. We know that one of our premiere pitches is that you can set your self up for life academically and athletically here. It's arguably one of the few things that separate us from the likes of Clemson, Alabama, and OSU and makes it possible to recruit at a potentially similar level.
Late signings by Stanford moves them towards the 85 total.
(247)
Kalny, Lee and Logan Berzins, DT had previously been listed as Preferred Walkons but signed today. The implication with the late signees and possible conversions of PWOs to Signees is that Shaw does not feel any Transfer Portal players will return. Shaw seems to have given scholarships to the PWOs to get to 85.
Stanford lands Joshua Karty, the number one Kicker in the nation. Karty's average rating is 0.8426. That rating ranks him nineteenth highest of their twenty-five commits.
The six with lower ratings are the late signees (5) and a long snapper.
Logan Berzins, DT - Pos 110 -- 0.8386
Scotty Edwards, Ath - Pos 158 -- 0.8227
Kiersten Lee, ILB -- Pos 113 -- 0.8053
Zephron Lester, DT -- Pos 200 -- 0.7953
Max Kalny, OG -- Pos 211 -- 0.7897
as well as the Long Snapper, Bailey Parsons -- Pos 7 -- 0.7797

Mike Williams, DT is tranferring to SMU. Those in Stanford's Transfer Portal are nearing completion. Of the sixteen graduates who entered the Portal, eight have committed elsewhere, three are staying at Stanford, five have yet to commit.

Of the five left uncommitted, two - Richardson and Trinh - originally were walk-ons who were given scholarships.
