Remarkable number of possibilities, lots of high interest.
The single digit number is my ranking of the player based solely his offers.
For comparisons sake, Peat was a 7, McCaffrey a 5, and Shittu a 3.

"Cuffee was thrilled to receive the Stanford offer. 'It's a real good school. Richard Sherman, he came from there. A lot of other great DB's came from there. To come from Stanford all the way to Waco, Texas, that's pretty big. I was very excited about it.'"
