... The only QB staff offered before his junior year was...Jack West. (There’s a reason they don’t do that anymore.)

iirc, West had yet to start in high school when Stanford offered.  that may be the better lesson learned as opposed to the early offer.  

while commendable in principle to stand by offers, offers are also incumbent on recruit showing requisite development/success in the classroom and on the field.  I am not sure if West really met the latter.
