There will be several Stanford targets in Indianapolis this weekend for the premier Rivals camp. Recruiting analyst Adam Gorney wrote about how things look from the perspective of several programs out West.

Specifically about Stanford:
"One of the biggest competitors to USC for St. Brown will be Stanford, mainly because the five-star receiver loves how the coaching staff has recruited and interacted with him. And it certainly helps that his brother, Osiris, signed with the Cardinal last recruiting cycle. Amon-Ra is almost without question the best of the three brothers, which also includes Equnaimeous, who plays for Notre Dame. He’s that special. Another top prospect for Stanford – among many other programs – is 2019 four-star defensive back and UCLA commit Chris Steele. The Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco standout could really emerge as a national standout after this event, and there’s no doubt Stanford has targeted him early on."
Stanford will not have any commits at the event, but here are some players -- in addition to St. Brown and Steele -- here are some names of note:

2018 linebacker Dax Hollifield. He visited for the most recent junior day and I've heard it was a positive experience. He hasn't done any interviews since then and hopefully someone at the event can get face-to-face time. Obviously Hollifield is one of the most important players in this recruiting cycle.
Other 2018 players who are on Stanford's board:
DE Tyreke Smith
LB Jesse Luketa (I don't think he's wavering from his PSU commitment)
LB Alston Orji (May be tough to get seriously in the mix now that he's committed to Vanderbilt and Stanford hasn't offered.
2019 Defensive end/outside linebacker Stephen Herron Jr. He was offered by Texas recently and has a chance to become an even bigger national recruit after this event. His introductory article from a few weeks ago.

2019 CB Max Williams Talented cornerback who attends Serra High.
Quarterback 2020 Harrison Bailey: Regarded as an early can't-miss prospect who I am trying to confirm if he plans to camp at Stanford this summer, which was a consideration at one point. His offer list at this point would make him a top 2018 recruit.
