Bobk has suggested we still might be looking at an athlete type QB (as a freshman, not a grad transfer), though I am not sure how much of that is that is wishful thinking on his part.  Can't find his post, though.

Top 100 WR Elijah Higgins is nearing a commitment, per 247.
And 247 has moved him from 29% Stanford to 56% in the last few days.
Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Hard to imagine why any top WR would want to come to Stanford....

Let's ask Trent Irwin.

Do you ever look at a team like Washington State and think of what it would be like to be in that offense?


"I take myself as a route runner. That's what I pride myself on. They do get a lot of targets, for sure, and a lot of stats. But they don't run a lot of routes. The routes don't apply to the NFL and the scouts do know that (when) looking at it. You have to take it from both perspectives. One of my best buddies was a receiver at Washington State, Gabe Marks. He holds the record for most receptions and yards. Everyone's goal in the end is to play in the NFL. In that sense you have to find where you fit in. I think as a route runner I fit in better here to be able to express my abilities. It's a give and take. You look at both situations."

When you say the routes here are more comparable to the NFL what do you mean?

"A lot of it is rub routes. A lot of it is little run, mesh routes or throw a little bubble here and there. The NFL is more pro style where they run the ball or pass the ball to run. They have to have both attacks."

Since Irwin brought it up, here are Gabe Marks' NFL stats:
