Stanford Thread

"I really wish Stanford would disappear."

They are disappearing themselves. They only have 6 commits so far in this class, half of whom were made in 2015 from folks who are still taking visits and looking around (4* Sione Lund for example is going through several official visits with folks like UCLA. 4* Osiris St. Brown is visiting Notre Dame and others). If they had to count commits as only the folks who are pretty serious and not actively pursuing other schools, they'd have like 3 or 4 recruits, have about 400 Rivals points, and be ranked about 90th nationally. They have no hype, energy, or momentum right now. Nobody else needs to commit over there. Its not the place to be.

Stanford always starts slow in recruiting because of their admissions process.

Stanford always starts slow in recruiting because of their admissions process.

I went back 7 years, and at this point in the year Stanford had the following commits (according to Rivals):
2015: 11
2014: 9
2013: 14
2012: 5 (finished with a class of 12, ranked in the mid 60s)
2011: 10
2010: 16
2009: 11
2008: 11

So 6 at this point is well below average for them...they have just over half the commits they usually have by this point.

Better to be fighting Stanford for recruits than to be fighting Vandy and wake forest.

Stanford will likely be mentioned anytime we go head to head for a recruit with them. I'm curious as to the desire to avoid mention of them. Can't say I get it.

Seems like jealousy, seems like good company, seems like we should put them on the schedule.

I most want SEC teams on the ooc sched....but Stanford would be a good one too.

Get mad cause Standford recruits the same kids GT does?

I don't care if they're mentioned as a recruiting opponent. What's tiresome is the debate over Stanfords recruiting prowess hijacking a kids thread. There are posts up there detailing Stanford recruiting that have nothing to do with this threads topic. I don't mind debating Stanford, my point is that this thread isn't the place for that debate.

Has it a bit derailed from comments on this player.

It derails on every recruits thread eventually. I just wish the endless debate would get taken to a GT vs Stanford dedicated thread. That's all I'm going to say on it here. I've hijacked enough of this tread as it is...

Aren't they #8 in the preseason poll? I wouldn't call that disappearing.

By that logic Uga has already won 2 national titles. But their program is beinging to crumble.

Um hate to agree with LargeFO because I can't stand Stanford but didn't they go 12-2 last year and win the Rose Bowl that is a really good year

I keep getting notifications of comments on this thread and keep hoping its actual news about him but get disappointed every time I check on it, can we please have a Stanford thread for Stanford?

It's really easy to make a thread on this site....

 

[Dottie1145]

Pretty easy to do this.

6 Days till Kickoff and you guys are more worried about Stanford than GT. Guess that's why we can't sell out games.

I'm not worried about Stanford at all, I'm proving that it is easy to set up a thread. People are always asking to start a new thread for certain topics instead of just doing it.

If I could, I would go to every single game home and away.

 

[ramblinvak]

Honestly, I would love to see GT play a kickoff game or have a bowl game against Stanford. According to http://www.winsipedia.com/georgia-tech/vs/stanford , we have played Stanford twice, 1991 and 2001, which we won both.

I'm talking about the comments on this thread being transferred, I'm pretty sure I don't have authority to do that, not to mention it's not like people would stop. Thanks for the info though.

I was beginning to think we were recruiting a kid named Stanley Ford. Meanwhile, Stanford is hot on the trail of George Teck.

Isn't that what this thread is? After all it is called "The Stanford Thread". I agree that other threads are regularly hijacked by comments about Stanford, but whoever opened this thread apparently wanted it actually to be a thread for discussing Stanford. What more do you want?
