number of offers and timing of offers.  total offers are down in the '20 class compared to '19 and late especially compared to everyone else in D-1.  we've not offered a '20 recruit in probably 90 days.  I've heard getting a meeting to discuss offers is problematic.  with top recruiting schools such discussions are daily during recruiting season.  and the '21 class is off to an even slower start than '20.

number of official visits used.  each D-1 school is allowed 56.  if we use 28 this year, I'd be surprised.  again, top recruiting schools will use all 56.

number of in-home visits by the head coach when a recruit is still in play.  the number available is pretty high and Shaw may be does 1 annually.  he does visit most of the committed guys before/after Big Slumber OV weekend, but again rarely visits guys still undecided/in play.

activity on social media.  again pretty dormant.  not a high barrier to entry medium.  you can follow Shaw and follow who he is following.  

lastly and more subjective still, how many recruits offer in articles that Stanford is recruiting them the hardest.  it is not often and may be exceed the number of times a recruit says he has an offer but he can't name the coach.

that's some really helpful and relevant info, thanks!
