Now that it appears some early admissions decisions have been conveyed to players--news I cheerfully celebrate when it's good--we've officially reached the part of recruiting where we will inevitably see a very smart and hard-working kid who has loved Stanford for a long time suddenly announce that he is re-opening his recruitment.  Pardon the lack of eloquence, but those announcements just flat-out suck.  I'm not saying there's anything we can do about it, as Admissions should obviously be beyond the reach of the Athletic Department.  I'm just saying I feel bad for those kids.  Here's hoping that this year, the borderline candidates are pulling a Zach Hoffpauir and committing to a solid backup option (or staying uncommitted) until they get good news from us. 

Since Hulk usually has a finger on this particular pulse, I'm hoping to hear that we have nothing to worry about this year.
