A number of possibilities:
a) the coaches rate Ude differently than Rivals (or, indeed, many of his offers). Rivals obviously likes him, but other rating services feel differently: 247 has him as a high three star (88/100 rating); Scout thinks he's the #65! DE; ESPN doesn't rate him at his position and thinks he's a three star. So it's not as if the coaches are lone dissidents or anything; it seems opinion's pretty divided on him.
b) the coaches rate him, but not as highly as other players at his position and feel that not offering Ude isn't damaging their prospects -- like, say, a Jesse Burkett or Reilly Gibbons, Ude will value the Stanford package irrespective of when it's offered.
c) the coaches rate him, but would like him to camp again, for whatever reason (slight variant of c).
d) the coaches have no interest at all in Ude
e) the coaches like Ude, but feel he is -- for whatever reason -- not a great fit for a 3-4 scheme.
f) an Ude offer is forthcoming!
Don't know! Could be any of those things. The lack of information in recruiting means that speculation's the only real way to go.
