Comment: Stanford's recruiting has slowed over the past month, but it's clearly quality over quantity for the Cardinal. Both Burns and Isaac Savaiinaea are Top 100 players, while Doug Randolph is not too far off. With the NFL Draft around the corner and with Cardinal alum Andrew Luck destined to be the No. 1 pick, Stanford football will be in the spotlight over the next two weeks. Kevin Shaw may be able to take advantage of the publicity by reeling in a few more recruits. Despite the team's epic finish to last year's recruiting cycle, it would behoove Stanford to score a few more recruiting victories before February.
