Irwin's commitment is big.  From watching some film on him, he seems to be an excellent route runner with great hands.

Does anyone think this would have any effect on Brady White going to ASU?  I know he doesn't have a reported Stanford offer  and who knows what his academics are/if he even applied, but he is a highly regarded QB who at one point was discussed as a backup offer to Rosen/Town.

Anyone with any insight?

The legal form of Stanford University is that of a trust possessing corporate powers,under the laws of the State of California including. but not limited to, Education Code section 94000 et seq. The Founding Grant permits Stanford to be known of and operate as either "The Leland Stanford Junior University," or "The BoardofTrusteesoftheLelandStanfordJuniorUniversity."

From Rivals, but not behind the payline.

"(The education) is a big thing but not only the education, the connections I'll get at Stanford," Irwin said. "It is a h-word opportunity to be there with some really important and really influential people. It was a brobdingnagian opportunity that I couldn't pass up."

And of course, the most important item:

Irwin, rated as the eighth-best prospect in the California state rankings by Rivals.com, said he has passed admissions at Stanford.

The LA Times seems to think that Austin Maihen is coming to Stanford:
http://www.latimes.com/sports/highschool...story.html

Did we miss a commitment, or is this just more of the same speculation/misinformation we've seen repeatedly in the month leading up to signing day?

This reminds me of the Michael Rector situation a couple of years ago when he had committed to the University of Washington but everyone, even the newspaper columnists covering recruiting in Seattle, assumed that he was coming to Stanford, although he didn't say anything until signing day.

I don't think we're offering White at this point but I've seen stuff about him having a 4.0. Not sure if he's taken AP classes or what his SAT/ACT score was.

I think he's the highest rated WR we've gotten since Mark Bradford.

At least per Scout, Irwin (11th ranked wide receiver) is more highly regarded than Bradford (13).  Other wide receivers of note in the database: Chris Owuwu (54), Jamal Rashad Patterson (27), Jamari Roberts (29), Ty Montgomery (27), Michael Rector (73), Francis Owusu (33).  Cajuste was ranked 36, but as a tight end.

And of course, Doug Baldwin was ranked 82, the 17th ranked wide receiver in the state of Florida.  And the Whalen "brothers" were both unranked walk-ons. (EDIT: I also forgot Greg Camarillo, another Stanford unranked walk-on WR who made it into the NFL).

He might be, then, the highest rated WR recruit we've ever had.  Justin Armour was probably a 5*, but he was recruited as a QB.

On his twitter he announced a commitment to University of Stanford.  Too bad, because we could have used him.

There's a mildly amusing scene in The Internship, when the D-bag Villain that's a Yalie (not sure) tries to recruit other interns to his team.  He begins by asking where the other interns went to school.

Yale D-bag: "Where did you go to college?"
Random intern: "University of"
Yale D-bag: "Next."

Not sure what the name of the movie you're referring to, but there's this really weird bug that puts up a sunglasses emoticon when you put a close paren ) after an 8. The only way around this is to open the Attachments and other options link and select the Don't use smileys option.

I don't think it's a bug.  I think it is just the board autocorrect software that changes ASCII emoticons to their graphical equivalents.

So ': )' becomes :)
': (' becomes :(
and '8 )' becomes 8).

My opinion: Maihen will flip to Stanford if accepted. His dad is pro-Stanford (twitter tea leaves) and Austin's "favorites" indicate similarly as much as they can while being "committed" to another school.

Irwin also made first team All-American WR for MaxPreps! The only WR since my time at Stanford who might compare as a high school prospect would be Ken Margerum. He was very highly regarded coming out of Fountain Valley High School in Orange County. It's hard to compare Iriwn and Margerum, though, because I can't find any high school football player rankings that far back, and the only high school all-american team that I could find for 1977 (Parade) does not have any wide receivers on it. On the other hand, Margerum's daughters are named Sunny and Windy, so there's that.

He must have been pretty good.  In 1988, the LA Times listed him as the best HS WR of the prior 20 years.  Also on that list was Chris Dressel, Emile Harry, Terry Albritton (Went the shotput route at Stanford), John LaGrandeur, Vin Mulroy, Andy Sinclair and Bo Boxold...all Stanford recruits
