Thanks Stanley Kubrick.
Fball Recruiting Class of 2021

I noticed that Sione Lund has entered the transfer portal. Any possibility he could move to Stanford? He has been admitted once before. And he plays ILB, a position of great need (although he could not crack the starting lineup at Utah).

Sam F -- on the admitted recruits going elsewhere, it is not only the number (8); it is also the quality (3-stars) and the destination (to not top football schools).
good start on the '22 class. it would be great to get a verbal from a QB or similarly prominent player who could serve as recruiting ala SSkov or the Mayor years ago.

I wonder how many went elsewhere because they wanted (or their parents wanted them) to stay close to home and far from the Covid hotbed in Santa Clara county. Of course we all hope that won't matter anymore by fall 2021, but the uncertainty still could be a factor in decisions.

Who cares? He’s a Duck. Knock him on his azz next year, reach down and pick him up and say, “Great going on your grades, you however made the wrong decision.”
Yes, a couple more PWO offers went out tonight. DL Katona, DL Aristotle Taylor (who is 6'8"!), and DB Zak Sedaros.
EDITING to say I have no idea whether more scholarship offers will go out for this class. I think we're licking our wounds and moving on. '22 is starting off way better, but we need a serious bounce-back. And 4 LBs.

The late signing period is less than four weeks away. I noticed that Austin Uke has not signed with anyone. Does anyone know if Stanford is still in play for Uke?
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)

Thanks, SamuelMcF. FWIW, it looks like Uke has Power 5 offers from Stanford, Georgia Tech, Penn State, USC, Vanderbilt, Florida State, Maryland, Missouri, Northwestern, TCU, Texas and Virginia Tech. It's nice to hear that we are at least in the running.
