The Stanford Cardinal are one of just three teams to have fewer than 10 committed players for the class of 2021. Though unconcerning at this time due to head coach David Shaw’s policy on early enrollees, the Cardinal class of 2021 ranks just 11th in the conference and is behind notable teams such as Colorado and Arizona, each of whom struggled to receive commitments early on.
Despite a low ranking, however, the Cardinal have one thing to hang their hats on so far for the class of 2021. The fact that their 247Sports average ‘recruit points’ accumulated for each recruit ranks as the fourth-highest in the conference.
