It's my uneducated opinion about 80% of success in most college sports is recruiting. A major jump forward may take donors offering big NIL (not the way I would want to go) or a coach who is really good at recruiting elite athletes. Harbaugh could go into a kid's house with unlimited enthusiasm and get the kid and his parents excited about building something big at Stanford. In today's program that recruiter doesn't have to be Shaw but it takes someone on staff with a type A personality.
