Here are the relevant blurbs:
Stanford commit Curtis Robinson put in a lot of work at The Opening - and a lot of it happened off the field.
The four-star linebacker from Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei said he did a tremendous amount of recruiting with two major targets in mind - Los Angeles Loyola four-star DB David Long and five-star ATH Demetris Robertson out of Savannah (Ga.) Savannah Christian School.
Long has favored Stanford for a while so that could have been preaching to the choir but Robinson felt it was important to put in a good word for the Cardinal.
Robertson, who had been committed to Alabama, could be a little more work but Robinson felt confident that the five-star was very open to Stanford as his recruitment continues. There are built-in disadvantages (one being that Robertson is in SEC country and is a covered recruit) but he's expected to take an official visit to Stanford and Robinson said the two had many strong conversations during the week.

Brandon Burton has one official visit scheduled to Florida State in October but he's planning two important unofficial trips in the coming weeks.
The Gardena (Calif.) Serra four-star athlete will visit Arizona on Friday and it could be a huge visit since Burton said it's really important teammate Khalil Tate is committed to the Wildcats. The two have been friends for years so that could play a factor as Burton considers his favorites. Arizona recently made Burton's top seven.
The four-star will also visit Stanford on Aug. 1. Burton's favorites at this point are Alabama, Arizona, Florida State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma and UCLA.

Four-star wide receiver Dylan Crawford is trying to be an early enrollee at whichever school he chooses, so he's been focused on academics this summer and essentially backed off the recruiting process a bit.
Crawford, though, said he's definitely planning to officially visit Miami and Michigan this fall, while Stanford continues to be a serious player with high school teammate K.J. Costello, a Cardinal commit, constantly nudging him.
"K.J. is always on me and talking to other guys like Kaden Smith about convincing me," Crawford said. "We really communicate about the schools and talk about what we like or don't like about programs."

Colby Parkinson is attended a wedding in Oregon soon and so he thinks this is a perfect time to go see some schools.
The 2017 four-star tight end from Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian is going to see Cal, Stanford, Oregon and Oregon State soon. So far, only Tennessee, Washington and Washington State have offered but many others are showing interest.
Stanford could be a big trip. Parkinson said it's one of his favorites and that it will be "an honor" to see that school. It's still way early in the recruiting process for the 6-foot-6, 220-pound recruit.
