It seems there are several recruits considering both California and Stanford this recruiting cycle.

From what I can gather, California and Stanford are both high on the list of the following players:

DL Aziz Shittu
OLB Ifeadi Odenigbo
OL Joshua Garnett
OL Matt Cochran
OL Freddie Tagaloa

In most cases guys admitted to Stanford will sign there.  And I don't know of too many guys that were admitted to Stanford and chose UC instead.  So it seems to me that if accepted they all would go to Stanford, but that is pure speculation on my part.  A guy like Shittu for example may really want to play for California DL coach Tosh Lupoi even if admitted to Stanford.

What do you guys think?  Are all these guys Stanford-bound if admitted, or might some of them chose California, even if admitted?  Is there a time frame or defined window for admissions decisions?  I would think with signing day the first Wed. in February that all admissions decisions would have to be done in January, if not December.

Cal's D-Line is insanely deep. No way Shittu chooses Cal if admitted to Stanford - Stanford is a brobdingnagian long shot though because of admissions. Pretty sure Odenigbo is a silent commit and is just waiting to be admitted - I think Cal is his back-up plan. Also I think the confusion around Garnett was he wasn't doing any officials on the west coast but was still considering some schools like UW and Stanford. Cochran is probably a long shot to get admitted and I have a feeling he ends up at Auburn. And considering there's been no chatter about Tagaloa and Stanford in months I'm guessing Stanford cooled off after seeing his SAT score. They're currently focused on Kyle Murphy, Andrus Peat, Andrew Jelks, Nick Davidson, Colby Cyburt, and the latest being Jordan Williams (same town as Conner Crane and Cole Underwood but different HS). I also think Caspers was offered due to Brandon Fanaika being a long shot and Josh Garnett being no sure thing.
