Stanford hits the ground running in Arizona

August 30, 2016

It's a banner year in the state of Arizona, and Stanford coach Brian Kudron has grand plans of taking advantage. During his time as head man in Palo Alto, Kudron has signed seven Arizonians: TE Marcus Davenport, OLB John Arnold, DT Andrew Edwards, OLB Adrian Turner, OT Kyle Davis, DT Juan Johnson, and DT Carlos Roberts. In 2017, he may look to sign that many in one class, as seven prospects from the Copper State are on Stanford's radar.

1. Jeremy Taylor, HB
Phoenix Desert Vista

Scouting Report: Taylor is below average at moving side to side, making tacklers miss, and accelerating away from defenders - yet he is ranked as the #10 player in the country, because he is a runaway train with the football, leaving a path of destruction in the wake of his 236-pound frame. His stamina matches his running style, as he delivers just as much brutality in the fourth quarter as he does in the first. Taylor is as close to college-ready as a high school prospect can be. He could step onto the college field tomorrow and not look out of place.

Recruitment: Taylor has not been offered by Stanford yet (though that is a formality, as he is an elite student in the classroom), but the Cardinal have a spot in his top group, along with Texas and Pac-12 North rivals Cal and Oregon.

2. Jordan Ross, CB
Superior

Scouting Report: While a bit on the light side at just 167 pounds, Ross, the nation's #2 cornerback, has plenty of room to add weight at 6'2, and in addition to blazing 4.38 speed, Ross doesn't let his slight build deter him, as he is tenacious in man coverage and pressing his man at the line of scrimmage - two attributes Stanford holds in high regard when evaluating cornerback prospects. Ross is not the best tackler in the world, but that is more of a technique issue than a mentality issue, meaning proper coaching can correct it.

Recruitment: Ross has said he is wide open, and is hearing from a who's who of college football: Stanford, USC, Michigan, Ohio State, Cal, Oregon, Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, and Auburn. He likely won't decide for sometime, but if/when a Stanford offer comes through, the Cardinal are expected to be serious contenders for his services.

3. Anthony Morris, QB
Chandler

Scouting Report: The 6'3, 220-pound Morris is the 2nd-ranked QB in the country, and #26 player overall. It's unfair to heap such lofty expectations on him, but it's hard to watch him play and not see shades of Shane Williams in his game. What makes Morris elite is his ability to perform in any offense. He is polished enough to perform in a pro-style offense, and he has the arm strength and accuracy to make all the throws. But he also possesses enough speed and athleticism to keep defenses honest, just like Williams does now in Stanford's offense.

Recruitment: Morris already has an offer from in-state Arizona, and is in touch with USC, Stanford, Cal, Ohio State, Nebraska, and others. The Wildcats run an appealing offense to a star QB like Morris, but he says he feels no tug to stay home, and will evaluate each school that pursues him objectively.

4. Todd Price, OLB
Tucson Canyon Del Oro

Scouting Report: Just as Anthony Morris may be seen by some as "Shane Williams lite," Price could be viewed as Adrian Turner 2.0, modeled after the Tucsonian now in his third year as a starter coming off the edge in Stanford's 3-4 defense. Price, at 6'6, 240, is similar in size to what Turner was in his senior year at Tucson Palo Verde (6'7, 230), and his skillset is comparable, although the consensus is Price is a step down in all aspects compared to Turner. That's certainly not a bad thing, since Turner was a fringe 5* recruit.

Recruitment: Price already has a tenative top five of Arizona, Stanford, Nebraska, USC, and Cal, with no leader. The Wildcats and Cornhuskers have already offered.

5. Paliana Kukolonu, C
Chandler Hamilton

Scouting Report: The Hawai'i transplant is a brute force in the middle of Hamilton's offensive line at 6'3, 330 pounds. Most teams prefer their center to be more of the athletic type of lineman, especially teams that run spread offenses. Kukolonu, though, is powerful, and more importantly, exceptionally smart. He seems tailormade to anchor the center of a Stanford offensive line.

Recruitment: Stanford is a regular presence in the hallways at Hamilton, so they are very, very high on Kukolonu's list. The in-state Wildcats and Sun Devils have already stepped up to the plate with scholarship offers, and Stanford, USC, and California may not be far behind.

6. Chase Rose, C/G
Cave Creek Cactus Shadows

Scouting Report: Rose is more balanced than Kukolonu, where the latter bases his game on brute strength and power, Rose adds a touch of finesse at 6'3, 283 pounds. To that end, Rose has better footwork than Kukolonu, while needing time in the weightroom to add muscle. Both players are considered center prospects right now, but both could make the switch to guard without issue.

Recruitment: Cal and Nebraska have already offered Rose, and currently sit atop his list, with Nebraska, USC, and Stanford close behind.

7. Gavin Brown, TE
Surprise Shadow Ridge

Scouting Report: Brown doesn't look the part of a Stanford tight end at only 6'3, 241 pounds, but he is a very good pass catcher, and is also a tenacious run blocker, which could make him an interesting fullback prospect ala Jay Hicks or Phil Anderson.

Recruitment: Of the seven Arizona natives on Stanford's radar, Brown is, at the moment, the least likely to be offered, as the Cardinal coaching staff is evaluating numerous tight end/fullback prospects. In the meantime, Brown is hearing from teams all over the Pac-12, including USC, Washington, BYU, Utah, Nevada, and Oregon State.

Stanford Stampede in South Bend
Cardinal shows no mercy in brutal dismantling of Notre Dame

SOUTH BEND, IN - Stanford coach Brian Kudron has been largely diplomatic during his tenure in Palo Alto, always opting for the high road and praising his opponents and deflecting praise.

But being the Michigan Man at heart that he is, the sight of his team taking Notre Dame out to the woodshed was too much to keep his emotions in check.

The usually stoic Stanford coach was vocal and demonstrative, fist pumping and whooping it up on the sideline in the fourth quarter as Stanford broke Notre Dame's will with a 30-0 rout in Notre Dame Stadium.

"This kind of gets lost among our rivalries out west with Cal, Oregon, USC," Kudron said. "Notre Dame is one of our most bitter foes, and our guys played like it tonight. I challenged our defense coming into this game to play with hatred in their hearts, and they answered the call, and punished those guys in front of them; made their asses quit."

#2 Stanford @ Arizona State
Sun Devil Stadium
Tempe, AZ
September 10, 2016



Valley of the Shane
Williams unleashes a firestorm on the Sun Devils as payback for 2014

TEMPE, AZ - Stanford coach Brian Kudron didn't come out and say it directly, but his facial expression said it for him. This game meant more to him and his team than usual.

Facing Arizona State for the first time since the Sun Devils stunned them in the 2014 Pac-12 Championship Game and ruined their national title hopes, Stanford showed no mercy Saturday night in Tempe, as Shane Williams threw for 485 yards and six touchdowns in a 65-21 blowout.

"I'd be lying if I said that wasn't a factor," Kudron said when asked about the revenge factor. "A lot of our kids were on that team two years ago, so yeah, there was some measure of satisfaction involved there. But most of all, we're all just happy that we played well, and got a win against a good opponent."

Perhaps the most remarkable about Williams' dominant performance was that his six touchdown passes were to six different receivers, displaying Shane's mastering of the offense.

"So far there's a big difference between this year and last year for me," Williams said. "Everything is moving much slower for me now. Last year I would get panicky at times, whereas this year things are coming to me more naturally, and I'm more comfortable. With all our talent on offense, it really feels about as smooth as possible for me. I just have to take care of the ball and be smart, and I know there will be plays to be made."

Stanford horse collars the Broncos
Offense rolls along as defense forces seven turnovers in 56-point laugher

PALO ALTO, CA - This game was summed up midway through the fourth quarter, when Stanford corner Devin Wilson stepped in front of a telegraphed pass by Boise quarterback Anthony Henry and essentially jogged down the sideline, headed for a 27 yard touchdown return. The jog was reduced to a mere trot at the end, as Wilson coolly crossed the goal line while Henry dove futilely at his feet, eating the Stanford Stadium dirt.

It was that kind of day, as Stanford broke the will of the Broncos in a 62-6 humiliation, exacting a measure of vengeance on Boise for last year's 38-33 loss on the Smurf Turf.

Shane Williams started out white hot before cooling off in the second half before watching from the sideline; he finished with 231 yards and two touchdowns, while also being intercepted by former Stanford safety Tony Parrish.

The Cardinal defense forced four sacks and seven turnovers, scoring on two of those. The first of those two scores - Curtis Webb's fumble return early in the third quarter - blew the floodgates wide open as Stanford rolled to a 42-0 second half.

"That was the turning point, no doubt," Brian Kudron said of Webb's defensive score. "I thought we played well in the first half, and obviously we were up by two scores, but it was that play that really lit the fire under us for the second half and helped us put the boot on their necks."
