This looks a little bit like Hulk's offer theory, which he used in the past to determine how good a recruit would be based on who else offered.
Nice to be on the other side of things, where other schools are measuring themselves based on whether a recruit holds an offer from us.
That being said, I would temper somewhat the methodology on Stanford based on the uniqueness of our offers and the non-athletic aspect of it. By the time we make an offer, we usually have a better than average indication on whether Stanford is a good fit, because of the academic variables (we are only going to offer recruits with good academics and such recruits are likely to care about academics and thus value a Stanford offer). On the flip side, some players with "offers" from us don't clear admissions and go elsewhere not because they didn't want us (and not necessarily because we didn't want them), but because they didn't clear admissions.
