Earlier in the year ESPN ran a piece on the "best PAC-12 recruiters", Lance Anderson was #1, and Sanford was farther down the list. I can't see exactly where because it's an Insider article and ESPN is doing that baffling thing where it doesn't let me see Insider stuff despite actually having Insider.

From the article:

1. Lance Anderson, OLB coach, Stanford

Forget the facts that Anderson was the key cog in the Cardinal signing one of the best offensive line classes in the history of college football in 2012 and that he took the lead in getting commitments from Georgia standouts Kirk Tucker (Tucker, Ga./Tucker) and Denzel Franklin (Atlanta/Pace Academy) in the 2014 class and Arrington Farrar (College Park, Ga./Woodward Academy) in the 2015 class. Anderson would top this list simply due to his standing as the admissions liaison on the Cardinal staff. He works with every one of Stanford's recruits and commits to make sure they hit every stringent requirement for admission, which makes him a vital component for a staff that has put together phenomenal recruiting classes in recent years.

Mike Sanford is "honorable mention".

(And the not honoring your Insider subscription is bad. I'm no longer an employee, but we got that right on mobile. My advice -- visit the mobile website: http://m.espn.go.com, and I think that fixes your browser cookies and you should be able to see Insider articles again.)
