Thought this would be an opportune time to gauge the accuracy of Andy's "best guess" recruiting class from awhile back...
Quarterback
None - Um, correct.
Running Back
1) Cameron Scarlett - Correct
2) Bryce Love - Correct
Fullback
3) Reagan Williams - Correct
4) Houston Heimuli - Correct
Offensive Line
5) Austin Maihen - Correct
6) Jack Dreyer - Correct
7) Nick Wilson - Correct
8) Brian Chaffin - Correct
Wide Receiver
9) Trent Irwin - Correct
10) J.J. Arcega-Whiteside - Correct
Defensive Line
11) Wesley Annan - Correct
12) Ross Donelly - Fraid not
13) Dylan Jackson - Correct
14) Anree Saint-Amour - Nope
Linebacker
15) Gabe Reid - Correct
16) Mustafa Branch - Correct
17) Jordan Fox - Correct
18) Kenneth Brinson - Incorrect
19) Casey Toohill - Correct
Defensive Back
20) Arrington Farrar - Incorrect
21) Frank Buncom - Correct
22) Justin Reid (IF reports of an LSU offer are inaccurate) - Correct, even though an LSU offer did ultimately pan out.
23) Quenton Meeks OR Niko Small OR Ben Edwards OR DB committed elsewhere - Correct, I guess -- got both Meeks AND Edwards
Specialist
24) Jake Bailey - Correct

So, out of 26 predictions (if we count #23 as a single prediction, our failure to sign a quarterback as a prediction, and Jabiari Tyler as a prediction by omission), Andy nailed 21 of them (81%).
Of the five that didn't pan out, two (Donelly and Saint-Amour) were D linemen, so that hurts. Donelly was an admissions ding. Not clear to me whether Saint-Amour was a ding or never even submitted an app. Then there was Brinson -- who could have guessed that anyone able to get into Stanford would pick *Army* instead? Farrar, admissions ding. And then Jabiari Tyler.
In a separate post on that thread, Andy said his best guess as to where we'd finish in the rankings was 22-25, but it sounds like we're destined to check in at about #18.
All in all, it turned out to be another impressive recruiting year for Mr. Drukarev, and for Stanford football.
