Jaden Slocum has committed to Stanford. This is a major win for Stanford in this class. Slocum has been admitted. (He was the recruit who asked for that not to be public.
Slocum reported offers from Notre Dame, Florida, Georgia, Oregon, USC and many others. For a long time I thought of Notre Dame as the main competition here.
This commitment is important for a couple of reasons. He's a talented player and he was a priority. Slocum visited for the only junior day this year. It's good that the Cardinal are keeping the pipeline to Georgia active.
It's also a bit reassuring to stop the losses this cycle of admitted recruits. (What Aaron Armitage decides to do is discussion for another day.) The fact that Stanford has only been able to do long-distance recruiting after a four-win season has made recruiting this class extremely difficult.
The defensive back class looks like a strong group on paper.
