We have two FBs on scholarship now
However using a TE and three WRs means no FB

Did our shift away from a lead blocking fullback occur because Symonds and Heimuli aren't good at it, or have we de-emphasized recruiting of fullbacks who are good lead blockers because we changed our scheme. Or (my preferred hypothesis) are both a result of evolution of the game away from 21 formations at all levels of the game, affecting both the pipeline of fullbacks and our preferred scheme.

Stanford has yet to offer a QB in the 2021 class to my knowledge. WTF is taking so long? Most of the top programs already have their QBs committed, let alone offered.
Is Caleb Williams going to be offered? Is it a "we will only offer if we think he wants to come" situation?
I'm not big on Miller Moss. He's not a fluid athlete and is so slow and deliberate in his videos.

It might also be we will only offer if we think he has a snowball's chance in hell of getting in.

That's baked into the equation already. Anyone who is on this board is well aware of the #1 prerequisite for an offer.

Great story on 2021 recruiting on Rivals. Only $8.33 a month.

Jay Symonds sort of fits this bill.
In general due to the shift of our offensive run scheme (duo blocking, more gun runs/RPO looks), a FB is a tell that it's usually a pass, as far as I've seen. Whether the FB is there to pass protect or run a route is another question. Neither of our scholly guys can lead block like Hewitt/Ward/Marx.
That said, we do have a PWO FB/H-back target in the '20 class.

Has anybody watched Shipley’s reel? Lighting. No projections for Stanford and a bunch for the Domers. They haven’t had a back like him for (years, ever)? Runs out of shotgun, the Wildcat, flanks, slots. Electric.
