Since the original thread went off the rails from its intended purpose...

Stanford fans sort of expected James Vaughters and Noor D., as heavily recruited guys, to have brobdingnagian impacts early in their careers.  Though Vaughters has played a lot, he hasn't been spectacular, and Noor D. isn't going to really see much PT until this, his third year in the program it seems.

Now we have another highly touted LB recruit in Peter Kalambayi poised to get his first action.  Will he have the kind of immediate playmaking impact we expected from Davis and Vaughters, or will he also struggle to make his presence felt early in his career?

It sure would be nice to see Kalambayi take away the starting spot from Anderson or Vaughters as the season wears on, because that will indicate he in fact is a big-time player.
