Turner coaches a position that has only 3 players on the roster (including scholarship and walk-on) and I wouldn't be surprised if Stanford ends up with only 1 recruit at that position in the 2023 class (the same Walker Lyons whom Turner has visited 5 times).  The problem is not that Turner visited 5 times.  The problem is that the team uses a coaching staff spot to coach/recruit so few players on the roster.

Disagree. 

Forgetting that our only current 2023 commit, Jaden Platt, is also a TE gave me a good chuckle. Nice job. Sam Roush is already on campus as an early enrollee as well.

We will thus clearly be taking 2 TEs ontop of the 2 in 2022, which will lead to having 6 TEs on the roster in short order (factoring in Yurosek to the NFL soon). Ontop of developing Yurosek into another great Stanford TE, Turner is reloading the room in a big way. I personally thought Shield Taylor would be a TE as well, but looks like that hasn't happened (yet). We use 2-3 TE sets a LOT, so it makes sense to have a position coach for that position.

Turner is also the regional recruiter for a bunch of midwest states, the Sacramento area, and south Florida. He has visited many (in fact almost exclusively non-TE) prospects in those states as part of his recruiting responsibilities. 

Personally, I would argue having Alamar as a full-time ST coach is the true "waste of a spot" from an allocation perspective, but his ST units have been consistently above average to very good so I can't really be that upset.
