Stanford's 2022 class is shaping up pretty well, but if you want to feel bad about how things are going, per 247's rankings, Ohio State has no current commits with fewer than 4 stars, Clemson's only recruit with fewer than 4 stars is a kicker, and < 20% of Alabama's class has fewer than 4 stars.  The uber elite teams that consistently get to the playoff just recruit in a different world from Stanford, and I don't see that getting better with the NIL deals now happening.
