From a CTCard post:
On the other hand, I heard this morning on "The First Team" (Sirius radio) that one of Greg McElroy or Tom Luginbill (didn't catch which), raised Stanford as his favorite OL in the country for this year. So, we got that going for us.
I'm beginning to think this belief in Stanford having his favorite OL in the country has to be predicated to some degree on the fact Little and Sarell are on the roster as arguably the top two, and at least 2/3 OT recruits in the class of 2017 recruits.
For one, Luginbill is ESPN's director of scouting or otherwise heavily involved in evaluating high school talent, and two, Stanford was the arguably the worst pass protection OL in the country in 2016. I don't think these guys would be confident in Stanford's OL without an assumption that more talented players would be available in 2017 than 2016. But maybe they buy Bright at LT because Shaw has expressed so much confidence in him, and that Hall will be better at RT. Who the hell knows. It just seems more likely than not that a new talent infusion is the predicate on which this belief in a Stanford's 2017 OL is based.
