Stanford is killing it.

Seems like they have gotten five or six 4 stars in the last week.

We (?) are going to have to give Shaw his due. Is he perfect? No. But he's pretty damn good all around the job

Kind of the Black Les Miles

Pretty solid comparison. I never thought he'd keep it together after Harbaugh, but he really has. We better get out shit together soon.

I've never gotten the Shaw hate. Like you said, he hasn't been perfect but he has kept Stanford rolling post-Harbaugh, which no one thought he would do. I also gained a lot of respect for him when he told Sark to lick his taint after Sark accused him of cheating.

Not sure where you got your info. Based on 247, since the beginning of January...

4 stars - 1
3 stars - 8
2 stars - 2

I stand corrected. I just saw that they have gotten 3 commits in the past couple of days, but most were high 3 stars.

Classic confirmation bias. It's telling because you want it to be.

Shaw "hater" here. I thought he'd fall way off. He hasn't yet, so either I was wrong or the league is just that weak right now. Or abundance.

He recruits well and seems to get his guys the right roids. I don't think he's a good game day coach or play caller.

What is impressive about Stanford's class is that they are getting their guys from every region of the country and continuing to expand their national reach.

Only 3 kids from Cali and 5 total from PAC territory (7 if you count Hawaii) compared to 7 CA/11 PAC out of 22 in 2015 and 5 CA/12 PAC out of 20 in 2014

2016 kids also hail from:
-6 from Texas
-5 from the Northeast
-4 from the Southeast
-2 from the Midwest

Also lots of big bodies as usual:

-13 out of 25 recruits are on the lines counting their big TEs.
-All 3 WRs listed at 6'3.5" or taller.


I don't care if UCLA or USC has more flashy top-100 playmakers. This is the best recruiting class in the Pac and Stanford will be the team to beat in conference for years to come. Our best chance to unseat them is 2016 since they will be YOUNG.

An average star rating of 3.28 seems a bit underwhelming coming off a rose bowl plunger victory vs mighty Iowa.

Would you think more highly of their class if they took 4* Bisharat over 2* Maddox? They had their choice and preferred Maddox.

They have an identity. They are getting their pick of players nationwide that fit that identity. They are kicking ass.
