Interesting article on the high school rankings and recruiting choices of many of this year's upcoming 1st round NFL draft.

I'm starting to not like Stanford very much!

I doubt the current coach will be able to maintain the recent level at Stanford very long.

Stanford had a good run under Harbaugh, but they also got some once-every-decade players like Luck and Toby Gerheart. My prediction is that Stanford and Oregon are trending downward while Washington and Washington State look poised to take over the Pac-12 North.

UW has been on the fringe of success and I expect a fast turnaround with Mad Pirate Leach at the Wazzu helm.

My positive take from this article suggests that in the world of win-some lose-some recruiting that we are chasing after some of the right athletes. Just gotta win a few more battles!

It also tells me the accuracy of recruiting rankings is improving. Everyone of the 32 players are a 3-star or better except 3 athletes (one a JUCO, one a drafted baseball player Weeden and one other player).
