Stanford's success on the recruiting trail within the last week or so may be going under-looked by the national media, but the Cardinal are on track to secure one of the biggest hauls in recruiting within the next week. 

After securing eight commitments stemming from their huge official visitor weekend last week, Stanford has received three more crystal ball predictions. Not to mention, they are hosting more recruits this weekend and based on of tweets from staffers, it is going extremely well. Back to the crystal ball predictions, these three recruits would launch Stanford's recruiting class from No. 23 in the country to the top-10 in the country.

En route to the top-15 they would pass notable programs such as Alabama, USC, North Carolina, and Tennessee among others.

Starting with New Jersey native and three-star safety Cam Richardson who the Cardinal received three crystal balls for within the last couple days. Stanford can continue to rebuild a secondary that lost essentially the entire two-deep from a year ago. While this season will give younger guys experience, the more depth they can add now the better they will be in the future. Richardson would be the third member of the secondary to commit. 

Joining Richardson in receiving a couple crystal ball predictions in favor of Stanford is four-star wide receiver Emmett Mosley. The Santa Margarita Catholic product hauled in 78 catches for over 900 yards, and 10 touchdowns this past season. Standing in at 6-foot-2 he could potentially be another weapon in Troy Taylor's pass catcher friendly offense. While he received two predictions, there is one that stands out more than the other. Mosley received a crystal ball prediction from 247Sports' National Director of Recruiting, Steve Wiltfong. When a recruit is "Fong'd" it is nearly a guarantee that he is going to that school, as Wilfong has been correct on 92% of his predictions out of around 4,200. 

The third and maybe face of the class should the Cardinal land him, is Mater Dei quarterback Elijah Brown. While compiling a 29-1 record as a starter, Brown has also thrown for nearly 7,000 yards and 76 touchdowns to just 11 interceptions. He is a borderline five-star recruit as the top-32 are rated as five-stars and he ranks as the No. 33 recruit in the country. He would be the highest ranked recruit in Stanford's class, and would also mark the highest ranked recruit since 2017 when they landed three five-stars all ranked within the top-15. 

There is no telling how high this Stanford class can end up, but if they keep up this momentum on the recruiting trail, this rebuild won't take nearly as long as many would think.
