Elijah Brown, 4* QB, commits to Stanford.

We get Elijah Brown. He just announced his Stanford commitment.
Of course, UCLA will continue to recruit him up to signing day.
Anyway, great news and a good recruiting job by TT.

Impressive.

I predict that Troy Taylor is going to be very successful at Stanford.
He has a great manner, is imaginative, is secure in himself, can look 
people in the eye, listens well, and really knows potent offensive football.
Things are soon going to get interesting again for fans of Stanford football.

Taylor is beating the biggest programs in the country on the recruiting trail already, before coaching his first game. That's pretty impressive. I imagine this competence is going to translate to the on-field performance very early.

It's almost like Taylor's recruiting pitch is that you should pretty much throw out the last two years when evaluating the program's competitiveness, and guys are buying in to that message.

Big get. It starts with the QB. We need to have the big guys to protect him now. Good steps to bring us back to relevance so far.

Look like we just got another commitment - 4* RB Chris Davis Jr, previously committed to Ole Miss.

I did not believe that in this NIL era Stanford would ever land a high four-star+ QB. It isn’t signing day, but this is a really impressive “get” at this stage of the recruiting game.

I am surprised and happy!

In this day and age, recruiting doesn’t stop until a player exhausts his college eligibility.

Taylor and his staff recognize that you have to recruit nationwide at Stanford. Commits by state so far:
California (5) (4 So Cal, 1 Nor Cal)
New Jersey (3)
Texas (3)
Florida (2)
Georgia (2)
Pennsylvania (2)
Louisiana (1)
Mississippi (1)
North Carolina (1)
Tennessee (1)

And another one just committed - Rivals 4* OT Justin Tauanuu.

Very happy with today's commits.

It'd be nice if Brown grew an inch+ in his senior year. He does seem mobile so I hope he can effectively scramble when needed to get that first down.

say what you will about Mr. Taylor......apparently, the guy can recruit.

If he can throw that well with his atrocious footwork, he might make a decent D1 QB.  He needs a lot of coaching and hopefully he will be attending some good camps this summer to work on it.  Most of the throws on his reel were off of his back foot or with his feet not set.

Is he as fast as Love?  Seems like most of the highlights were either untouched, or break one tackle near LOS and then upfield.  Seems to mostly run straight to the end zone and outrun everybody.

Nobody is as fast as Love.

At least via track times, he's nowhere close. (Though I take it with a grain of salt since he's only run in 2 track meets ever.) By this metric at least, Cole Tabb is significantly faster.

Emmett Mosley, 4*WR, commits to Stanford.

We are back to out recruiting the Domers. Both his parents went to ND and he had an offer there.
