Having seen Pakola I think he’ll be a DE at Stanford.   


We shall see how it shakes  out but remember admissions plays a of immense proportions role

Are you suggesting admissions may be difficult for him?  The kid has been touting Stanford and how much he wants to go there, for quite a while.

No, he's suggesting that not all of "Herron Jr., Pakola, Latu, and DiCosmo" will be in the final class plus there is no guarantee that Joey Alfieri is the only OLB who will not be back in 2019. So your assumption of 15 OLB is probably incorrect.

This is why I asked about what position Pakola was being recruited to play. And Bob did answer that, when he said he believes Pakola will play DE if he comes to Stanford.

And you posted that you think DiCosmo is still a Stanford possibility. The only guy that would leave out among those four is Latu. Are you saying Latu isn't going to get into Stanford?

I'm saying that until they are admitted and committed, there is a brobdingnagian gap between saying they are "still a Stanford possibility" and saying they are one of 15 future outside linebackers.  We usually have some non-zero admissions attrition between the summer and signing day, and while it is possible to get a sense of who is at risk and who is likely admitted, you can't pencil anyone in until they have submitted an application and gotten a response.
