RB, like TE, is a position with great depth now.  A large part of that is due to JH\'s system.

If you are a TE, one could argue that Stanford is the #1 FBS destination.  If you are a power RB, or played that system in HS, then Stanford is very high up on the list.  They are great problems to have for a program that used to struggle to get 15 commits a year.

I think it does not really serve JH or Stanford to bump athletes out of position in year one.  The call should be to let them try to move up the depth chart and/or let them decide on their own to move to another position.  (ie. John Lynch)

Wilkerson looks likely to be RB #1 in 2011, so those capable of other positions may realize it will be best to try different things in the Spring.   Until LOI day there really is no reason to worry about playing time for verbals.  In both cases, worrying about that in late November can\'t possibly be a concern for the team or the staff.

FWIW - We used to think some of those TEs would certainly become OL.  Ironically, all that has happened is that an OL has become the most talked about Stanford TE in 2010.
