Is this class tenth best in the Pac 12?

This is really concerning. What has happened? Is recruiting to Stanford admissions so hard that we have been unable to recruit based on our strength over the last 10 years? I'd especially like to hear from those who think that Shaw does a good job in recruiting - which is, in my mind, the most important thing a head coach does - to explain what they think the problem is, or if they see this as a problem at all. It seems recruiting has been an issue for a while in terms of specific position groups, and overall, there have been some years (such as this one) that have been a dud (I realize that players can out-perform their rating). Have we EVER had a class with just one four-star recruit? Does not portend well, unless a significant number of these guys out-perform their three stars, which is possible.
