This is a testable hypothesis, because you can see who else was recruiting the player.  So, for example, EJ Smith had official visits to: Stanford, Florida, Georgia, and Texas A&M, and offers Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, USC, and pretty much everyone who was anyone (https://247sports.com/Recruitment/EJ-Smi...Interests/).  Thus, the idea that Smith's 4* recruiting profile was artificially elevated because he committed to Stanford was ludicrous.

I think you can broadly do that for most of our top end recruits, and you would find that the recruits generally had an offer profile commiserate with their recruit rating.  You might be able to nitpick here and there, but the issue really hasn't been that the recruiting rankings were miscalibrated, but that we were failing to develop the players we had.

…you would find that the recruits generally had an offer profile commiserate with their recruit rating.

And those ratings are usually so unsympathetic. ?

LOL.  Commensurate, damn it.  I'm trying to envision an offer profile commiserating with a recruit rating.

I look forward to watching Stanford football while not staring at the play clock praying we don't get a delay of game penalty.
