you'll certainly remember a tight end we got from Stanford under the same circumstances - last name of Willson.
I really like this approach - go to the Stanford/Northwestern/Duke/Wake Forest/Vandy/Ga Tech pfd walk on lists and cherry pick. Hell, they've been picking off our commitment lists for many years. Time to return the favor.

Been arguing this for years. I'd watch (and contact) everyone on their recruiting lists.
Stanford is unique (now, but hasn't always been) in that you can be top 20 AND get a top 20 education. For the others, they're generally having to choose to play, but lose often at the top level in order to get the academics. No, you're not going to get a lot of those guys.... but if we got 10% of our classes from those lists, I'm betting we'd be at or near the top in CUSA recruiting every year

Not to mention at or near theta of the standings at the end of each year.

It's kind of a slam dunk. Glad we have somebody who understands that. David Bailiff is a wonderful human being. But I hate to think how far back 2009-11 set us.
