Stanford has been on Spain since his junior year. There are two competing sells: South Carolina and UNC are all about home and the fun of playing before friends and family. South Carolina can offer a chance to play in the SEC. UNC is trying to regroup after a calamity. Stanford offers something completely different. It is waaaay far away. Some kids like that. It is the top academic choice among the three. And, it's football program is newly arrived among the elite. It's offense really showcases OL prowess. We don't do it with spreads or hurry-up offenses. We feature big bodies executing an NFL-style offense.
But, it's not for everybody. Stanford just lost out on a really big, talented DE who opted to stay home in Iowa. And we were pretty confident, based on his statements, that our academics/football proposition would win out. Go figure. So who knows if Spain really is a lock for Stanford? It will all depend on what Spain wants from his college experience.
