All interesting additions.  I am trying not to sound too sanguine, because some veterans of these boards think that I have been, all the way back to Teyo, Amon, and Eric Lorig. 

I've whiffed many times, of course; I thought we'd get Travis Leitko and still am bewildered by his decision to go to Notre Dame. I thought we'd get long looks from Nick Watkins and Todd Kelly.  And while I never assumed we'd land Christian Wilkins,I'd never have guessed he'd choose Clemson. 

But this 2016 group seems more passionate about Stanford than any that I've followed.  And we definitely have become better known nationwide, even in just the last three years.  The five bowl game and Richard Sherman Effects look strong, and A Luck helps us too.  And it also seems kids are thinking more about the 40 Year Decision, and are more aware for the reason why many people think NFL translates best as "Not For Long." 

Good signs, I think.  Many of them.
