A look at what happened over the past week in the world of Stanford recruiting:
Of the 45 players remaining on the ESPNU 150 list, Stanford is still in the mix for at least five of the players who have not committed. Stanford has commitments from two players on the most recent ESPNU 150 index: Noor Davis (No. 17) and Alex Carter (No. 113).
Looking at the 45 players on that list who have not committed, the Cardinal are still in the conversation for three offensive linemen -- Andrus Peat (No. 16), Kyle Murphy (No. 26) and Josh Garnett No. 42. They are also still getting consideration from defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo (No. 50) and Barry Sanders (No. 78).
Stanford checks in at No. 24 nationally in the updated class rankings.
Stanford extended a scholarhsip offer to tight end Adam Breneman last week. Breneman, a 6-6, 225-pounder from Camp Hill, Penn., now has 11 offers. He'll graduate in 2013.
"Academics will be a huge part,” Breneman told ESPN.com's Jared Shanker. “I know football will end at some point and I’ll have to get a job and support a family. At Stanford, you’re going to be on a nationally ranked team and get one of the best educations in the world.”
Defensive end Jake Butt (Pickerington, Ohio) is showing some interest in Stanford, writes Shanker. The defensive end/TE from the class of 2013 also has a solid GPA and an emphasis on academics.
Looks like safety Bam Bradley (Trotwood, Ohio) will make his official visit to Stanford on Nov. 12, Shanker reported.
Offensive lineman Andrew Jelks (Paris, Tenn.) is no longer looking at Stanford. Despite Palo Alto being the only official visit he's made, he's narrowed his choices down to four, and Stanford is not in the mix, reports ESPN.com's Dave Hooker.
