Who'd ever want to go from Palo Alto to BFO. Strange choice.

Isn't that where his dad played?

Stanford vs Michigan 2017 Recruiting - Head to Head

Stanford vs Michigan 2017 Recruiting - Head to Head

While team rankings (247) have Michigan at #5 and Stanford with its highest ranked class ever at #16, Stanford beat out Michigan in head-to-head battles.

Michigan had four signees who had Stanford offers:
Rashan Gary, #1 DT
Ben Bredeson, #2 OG
David Long, #9 CB (flip from Stanford)
Dylan Crawford, #26 WR


Stanford had eight signees who had Michigan offers:
K.J. Costello, #2 QB
Kaden Smith, #3 TE
Clark Yarborough, #22 OT
Devery Hamilton, #24 OT (flip from Michigan)

Stanford commits, Michigan offers but lesser priorities
Simi Fehoko #61 WR (Michigan in top 5)
Donald Stewart #74 WR (Michigan in top 2)
Michael Williams #36 DT
Andrew Pryts #47 S

Either team would have taken each other's top four. Fehoko narrowed his top three to also include BYU and Utah and was going on a mission, possibly eliminating Michigan.
Michigan overloaded at WR with Crawford announcing for Michigan prior to Stewart announcing for Stanford. Williams had interest elsewhere by the time Jordan Elliott decommited from Michigan, leaving them with Rashan Gary's friend, Michael Dwumfour #58 DT. Pryts had an unofficial to Michigan and may or may not have been a head-to-head.

This recruiting matchup will be something to watch with the latest being Dylan McCaffery (#2 pro-style QB) - Christian's brother - choosing Michigan and Colby Parkinson (#2 TE) choosing Stanford.

Other considerations are Harbaugh's history with Stanford and West Coast recruiting and Michigan's satellite camp in northern California annually.

Wow...what is his connection to Stanford? This is not the first time he has made a gift there according to the article.

What's crazy is that he could just randomly give out $40,000 to 10,000 people if I did my math right. I wonder which choice would have a better/bigger impact.

I like the Under Armour gear, but I keep thinking that passing up on the swoosh was a bad idea.

I was a Converse kid growing up in the 80's until a college that was recruiting me gave me a pair of Air Force One's. Total Nike convert after that. Flash forward 30 years, ND signs with Under Armour and Phil puts the US Women's team in these uni's.

He decides the US should play in Wht / Blk / Neon ??? F him. I'm done with Nike. Plus, these UA shoes are the most comfortable I've ever owned:

This is just Knight trying to white wash his legacy of makings billions off of child slave labor by establishing scholarships to fight "poverty" in the world. What a joke.

By the way, his connection to Stanford is that he went to business school there.

But it's okay because it cleanses his soul.

Georgia was loaded at QB this year. There were more asses than seats in the Southeast and Eason made it worse. Good for this kid to see the solution was to leave and get an education. Bad news is he's on clipboard duty with Keller Chryst & KJ Costello ahead of him.

Stanford football uses eye-tracking goggles to spot concussions

The Stanford football team’s Rose Bowl championship season might have ended differently without the help of technology that employs virtual reality goggles to quickly diagnose concussions.


Throughout last season, trainers used eye-tracking technology called Eye-Sync to test Cardinal players who showed symptoms.

Instead of taking the usual 30 to 40 minutes to run through subjective concussion tests that can be inconclusive, Eye-Sync provided solid data in just 30 to 60 seconds.

That literally made Eye-Sync a “game changer,” said Scott Anderson, Stanford’s athletic training director.

“We were able to identify when someone was not concussed and allow them to safely go back into the game,” he said.


A few thoughts on AJ Tarpley: Why a tremendous Stanford athlete walked away from the NFL

Tarpley's major was Science, Technology and Society.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed elsewhere. He later went on Finebaum and backtracked, I gather. I guess he was not referring to the SEC states specifically?
