Just Flipped to Stanford FUDGEEEEEE

Ugh, what? Stanford of all places?

Not happy, but the sting is mitigated by it being Stanford. It's understandable.

I don't blame any kid that has the grades to go get a Stanford education.

Stinks, but not worried about stuff like this -- especially this early.

Open scholarships = opportunities with a coaching staff that recruits as well as ours does.

Stanford academics is a huge draw. We now have another spot for other targets that we are pursuing on defense. But it’s so early and recruiting is so fluid so who knows. Pretty much every school will flip recruits and have recruits flipped before the recruiting cycle is over.

This might have been a recruited over situation……….

 

[GoSU96]

This might be mutual.

Really? That would be interesting. I would assume this means maybe a combination of Justin Edwards who visited last weekend or Pouncy/Hester who are supposedly visiting this weekend.

Edit: And I guess Zikk Leaks as well if the staff think he is an upgrade over Zaiden.
Bummed to lose McDonald but there is no doubt the staff will come up with a suitable replacement.

Would this be considered a Zikkileak?

Someone under Mike M’s post about McDonald’s flip said maybe they’re gaining ground in CJ Hester’s recruitment, does anyone know if that could be the case?

Good for the conference if so.

Maybe the Izayia Williams train is returning to the Syracuse station? Think it has another stop at Louisville first, but we’re next!
