Hey Langdude...

Based on the following email (http://cardinal.gostanford.com/nl/jsp/m....YHFO5lU%3D), it looks like Eboh may have the inside track to being the starter at CB opposite Adebo:

A year after cornerback Paulson Adebo became the breakout story of Stanford’s 2018 spring practices (and followed up with a school-record and FBS-leading 24 passes defended in the fall), his new starting position mate may have been solidified by a breakout 2019 spring. Junior Obi Eboh finished his spring with a strong performance in the Cardinal and White Spring Game, showing fans why he has earned the inside track for the starting cornerback position opposite Adebo. Obi is a conscientious technician of the game, and he is playing faster and more confidently, allowing his athleticism to show up.

Also, I wonder if it makes sense to pencil Curtis Robinson in as one of the ILB's:

One of the biggest unknowns for Stanford this offseason is the replacement of four senior inside linebackers who have graduated this year. Junior Curtis Robinson took a big step forward for himself and for the Cardinal defense, after he switched from outside linebacker. Curtis has a high football IQ and is proving to be a quick study at his new position. Curtis looks quite promising, and after the redshirt year he took in 2018, he has two seasons still ahead to play. Two true freshmen also piqued our attention in the spring: Ricky Miezan and Jacob Mangum-Farrar. Both demonstrated their exciting athletic abilities and showed us flashes of their playmaking ability. Look for all three of these new ILBs to progress and compete intensely into the fall.

"Looks promising" is not as definitive as the accolades given Eboh, but the tea leaves are probably favorable for him and/or one of the two RS freshmen to go in front of Pryts/Beecher.

Lots of other good stuff in the e-mail, but much less suggestive of a change in starters.
