Swing and miss?  Or never Stanford  Just talk?

I must say, though I am purely speculating, I shared an Instagram post (now deleted) Blakes had shared in December of pics from a Stanford visit. The thing is, the pics seemed like they could be from an "old" visit to the Farm, rather than current development. I almost wondered if it was merely content to keep fans/followers engaged in her recruitment. 

Anyway, NIL collectives (which I honestly don't have a good understanding of) appear to be having a big impact on WCBB recruiting. I make the distinction between NIL collectives and the general NIL "marketplace" where Cameron Brink, Haley Jones, etc. seemed to have fared very well. 

But I would guess that the NIL collectives is how some WCBB programs like Clemson and Florida making moves in WCBB recruiting. 

I know Bobk has mentioned Stanford is "behind" when it comes to integrating NIL into the Stanford student-athlete's experience (i.e. incentive), though elsewhere I've gleaned that there are things in the works for Stanford that will be much stricter than what is happening at other universities. 

Though I understand and respect that Stanford seems to be taking more time in phasing in NIL, I do hope they can catch up soon enough so that Tara can better compete in the new recruiting landscape sooner than later.

Curious if those who are more knowledgeable about NIL can educate me on this topic.
