Earlier, I suggested a mulligan for the class of 2021, and here's the hard data per 247sports.com--which gives at least a ballpark accounting re: the state of affairs.
Stanford has four commits, fewest of any power five school. According to 247sports.com, we've made 58 offers. Of the 54 who haven't committed to Stanford, 24 have committed elsewhere. So we have 30 non-committed offers as of July 14, and, per 247's crystal ball, and at the moment are favored to land two of them.
To get to 20 commits, we would need to land half of the non-committed offers and flip one current non-Stanford commit. More likely, with no additional offers, we might end up with a 10- to 12-person signing class.
Does that sound right to those in the know, or am I missing something?

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
