SB Nation Stanford football preview - washingtonismoney - 06-19-2012

The kicker:
Quote:But after the statement David Shaw made in hauling in this recruiting class on Feb. 1, we perhaps shouldn't count 2012 as a total loss just yet. Stanford is still going to be one of the meanest, most physical teams in the country, and it isn't out of the realm of possibility that they add another 10 or 11 wins to the ledger this fall.

IMO, if Stanford turns in a 9+ win season and plays well against tough competition even in losses, it will achieve powerhouse football program status in the minds of all fans. You won't hear any more talk about going back to being irrelevant anymore.

You'll probably hear some of the same talk, but you know where it will come from.
Great article, by the way. The guy really knows what he is talking about.
Re: SB Nation Stanford football preview - OutsiderFan - 06-20-2012
Just read the article. Pretty much spot on with one exception. Kevin Anderson is an OLB, not a DE.
I will however go out on a limb and predict the 2012 DBs will be better than 2011. Howell missed four games in 2011. I believe whoever replaces Bademosi will be better. And Thomas will be adequately replaced by Richards.
We could see Lyons, Carter, and Richards on the field at the same time in 2012, all better athletes than any three that were ever on the field at one time in 2011.Â
Re: SB Nation Stanford football preview - Hank 91 - 06-20-2012
Agreed. With the overall strength of the past three recruiting classes, we're still at the point where the young players are more talented than the graduating seniors they're replacing. With one notable exception, of course.

That could be great. I can see those three in the mix along with Terrence Brown, Barry Browning and Ed Reynolds.
