I don't think the slow pace of commits is anything unusual. Since time immemorial Stanford has had recruits commit more slowly than other schools. Stanford appears on pace for a pretty solid class, so this strikes me as pretty low on the list of concerns for Shaw. (though obviously he should be stretching to get a really bang-up class.)

Generally I agree, but there are fewer players left uncommitted, so unless there are some stealths currently committed to other schools who we can turn (and there usually are), I’m not sure we will close as strong as we have in the past.

Also, the class is looking very unbalanced, and we may be looking at a situation where a dearth or defensive players will again bite us in the behind in three years.
