I was expecting a class of 1-2 given we only have one Sr and we have a big roster. However signing three top 60 players is awesome.

Cypress, Texas has been good to Stanford athletics. Perhaps not a surprise; from the wikipedia article:
"The 77429 zip code is one of the most affluent in Harris County; nearly 77% of the population has an income over US $50,000, and 42.65% earn over $100,000.[7] The Cypress urban cluster ranks 50th in the top 100 highest-income urban areas in the United States. Both Cypress Zip codes 77429 and 77433 are ranked among the Top 25 wealthiest in the Houston area.[8]"

They look like good recruits. I don't know the roster well enough to figure it out but this group is four infielders and a catcher. Does that fill some roster weaknesses for us or is it just that these were the admissible recruits this year?
Cheers,

Pitching for Stanford should be outstanding however the Pac 12 pre season rankings has league teams as the top 3 in the nation. Plus two more top 25.
The question of course is will there be a season for a team in Santa Clara county? Practice should start about Jan 11 and will that be possible. Of course will it be possible for any Spring seasons?
Already the wonderful Mary Nutter tournament in the Palm Springs area has been cancelled. Stanford is often at this tournament with many other schools.

I get that folks are panicking a bit with the alarming numbers, including those threatening hospital capacity (a legit concern). But really, keep longer-term in mind and the risk of the activity in question. Softball and soccer (though I'd say all college sports) provide minimal risk, especially where campuses are not crawling with students. Plus, vaccines will begin the slow roll out next month (knock on wood), that should help reduce risk of death/serious illness for everyone.
But in the meantime, those not being smart about distancing and masking need to be. Right away. It's really not that hard/that much of an imposition.
