Love the way he and his family conducted his recruitment. All class. Wish him the best...that's an amazing academic and athletic opportunity for him.
Bryce Love commits to Stanford
- Thread starter Raising Heel
- Start date
I kinda feel good for Stanford because I was starting to feel sorry for them Re: recruiting Charlotte / North Carolina. We kept edging them out for recruits like Spain (and some others that I can't remember right now). Seems like Stanford finished in 2nd behind UNC or other schools for a sizable number of N.C. recruits. So I'm happy they landed one.
They're sure hitting the Charlotte area hard though. I think the Charlotte private school recruits appeal to them because their grades and test scores are (I'm assuming) probably a bit better than more rural N.C. recruits.

I certainly don't think it was a football-centric decision. The odds are against an NFL career for him because of his size. Good on him for making the most of an outstanding educational opportunity.
I think Love could have an NFL career. The size menas he cannot be an every down RB, but he could develop into a slot WR who also shifts into the RB position at times.
If I were a top RB, I would be hesitant to sign with UNC. What top RB is going to be happy on a team in which the QB carries the ball far more often any RB?
But by the same token wouldn't UNC be great prep for NFL career as a slot receiver?? Williams has only one more year and guys coming up should be more prolific passers and run from the QB position less. Stanford likes bruiser backs. Love's decision is his but I still think and have the right to think it is a terrible decision.
Hope folks can take the time to read the story from a few years back in the Stanford paper about their "shadow curriculum" that was used for athletes, specifically football players.
The ish we have had to and are dealing with is chump change compared to that program. Any coinkydink that Harbaugh skedaddled out of dodge when they stopped that program to keep athletes eligible???
