One thing I’ll give the Stanford staff and football program credit for is they do recruit nationally. Now, it’s not nationally like OSU or even ND but they do go into other regions and get P5 kids all the time.

Michigan wanted him too.

Another instance whereby you have to question PJ Fleck, he can't land the top player in Minnesota yet again

Minnesota never retains their top top talent. Kinda feel bad for them. Minneapolis is a trash city, not a college town. But it churns out enough talent that the big programs will snoop around and find get the best kids to leave the state.

He must like playing in an empty home stadium.

recruiting at stanford seems to have changed with the new regime, a ton of commitments there in the last few weeks
All 3 star kids but they have 10 now which is not the norm for them

They recently flipped a 3 star LB Baylor commit.

Stanford should have a solid floor to recruiting good culture and physicality upfront.

 

[Crazy Balki]

I'm not sure that's really a solid floor, especially when of the 11 recruits, only 3 of them are on the OL/DL, only one of which is nationally ranked.

Culture is good and all, but you need to have bodies and talent up front to exact that physicality, especially since they're fresh out of juice boxes on the Farm.

In 2020 they finished 21st, 2021 43rd, 2022 19th, 2023 45th, and 2024 (so far) 24th.

I said they should be able to. Which they are presently and have been able to at times in the past, just not consistently enough.

With the right coaches Stanford should most definitely be able to stay in that top 20-30 class range. That’s a solid floor.

Again, they just stole a TX LB from Baylor and Aranda. That’s what a competent Stanford staff can do. Pick certain prospects nationally that quality regional programs want.

They'll never be a top 10 recruiting program. But they don't need to be. They can be competitive with #20-30-ranked classes full of guys who buy in and stay there four/five years and develop - as they used to under Harbaugh/early Shaw (PED jokes aside).
The question, to me, is can they keep those guys for four/five years anymore? If you think we're disadvantaged by the current NIL/transfer mayhem, Stanford's even worse off.

 

[stpeteirish]

Maybe the new coach is getting some slack from admissions.

 

[notredomer23]

Stanford is putting together a very nice class after the last few

 

[stpeteirish]

Guess he decided he didn't want to wait 4 years to play at SC. Day one starter at the farm?

Was the highest ranked QB left uncommitted in 2024 class

Not sure if they are recruiting one running back as an athlete or not but they have 3 running backs committed right now.

 

[dublinirish]

9th ranked class in the composite rankings ahead of the likes of USC, Clemson, Tennessee etc

The trees for their standards are putting together a good class.

Stanford should get a 4 star+ QB every year which should be enough with an average recruiting class (5-7 4 stars) to be a fringe top 25 team annually. Idk what happened to Shaw, he had great QB talent.

 

[IrishLax]

I am still upset that we somehow lost to that haughty dipshit David Shaw in his final season

Shaw was able to extend the lifespan of the Stanford offensive success after Harbaugh left. Even in his last year, he had good QB play from McKee.

But he wasn't able to maintain the success in the trenches that they had under Harbaugh. Luck got the headlines, but Stanford was winning both sides of the trenches against nearly everybody. Those front 7's with the likes of Shayne Skov, Trent Murphy, Ben Gardner, Chase Thomas and Jarek Lancaster were absolutely dominant. Then time went on, those guys left and they weren't replacing them with similar talents. Their fronts were getting smaller and smaller and less imposing. Sure, they got a few more good years out of it, like in 2015, '16 and 2017, but those were carried primarily by the offense and notably the elite play of Christian McCaffrey and Bryce Love.

It has come to a head in the last few years, where their OL and DL play has been flat out putrid. Which makes me wonder why Michigan went after half their starters on the OL when they were quite bad.

In my opinion, worst loss since Weis era.

That Stanford team was horrendous.
