One thing to remember, r.e. Peat: While Todd Peat Jr. ended up at Nebraska, his first choice last year was Stanford, and he was pretty open about that fact. He just never cleared admissions. My impression (drawn from occassional comments I have read on the internet, but maybe this is just repeating rumors) is that the family is very education focused. If that is the case, then obviously it improves our shot with Andrus, even if his brother is at Nebraska.
I like our chances very much with Murphy and Shittu. Even if we do lose out on Garnett, IF we could add Murphy AND Peat, this would have to go down as, on paper, the best OL class of the year:
Murphy--5*
Peat--5*
Shuler--4*
Davidson--4*
Fanaika--3/4*
Caspers--3*
Colby Cyburt, now a UCLA commit, said the Stanford coaches were looking to add 5 or 6 OL prospects this year, so the above group would do the trick. Sub Garnett for Peat, whatever. That is a great group. Even if we get Murphy and lose out on both Garnett and Peat, it would still look pretty darn good.
