Thanks for that, Hulk. It seems like its become a sort of axiom among many on here that Stanford just "doesnt have the athletes" to keep up and doesnt recruit as well now as in the past. But look at the average recruit rankings over time and there just isnt a trendline to support that; compare us to the rest of the pac 12 and we clearly bring in more high caliber athletes than 2/3 of the conference. Whatever the source of our troubles is, its not: "Shaw cant recruit elite athletes (anymore)."
