Stanford just announced its newest football recruits: [Stanford Football Announces 2011 Recruiting Class - Stanford University’s Official Athletic Site](http://www.gostanford.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/020211aab.html)

Only 19 of them. Consider how many are on the team

(Like I said, not many of Stanford’s athletes are recruited, and recruiting =/= boost in admissions, rather recruiting = attempt to get them to attend, in the same way that Yale attempts to recruit top science students with likely letters, a special admit weekend for them, etc.)
