Here's where Rivals rated our most recent recruiting classes along with some Pac-12 north opponents. There's all kind of problems with these rating services. You may get a bunch of talented athletes but if you have a specific need for defensive linemen or fast cornerbacks and you whiff in one year you have a problem. At Stanford you can't easily solve that problem with transfers. On average USC, Oregon, and Utah out-recruit us, Washington and UCLA are roughly equivalent to us. There's talent on this team, recruiting overall didn't fall off a cliff, although we haven't landed another Andrew Luck or Christian McCaffrey.

Stanford 2019-2022 class ranking: 24, 23, 46, 25

Cal class ranking: 37, 34, 40, 55
Oregon State: 65, 52, 93, 53
Washington State: 62, 57, 52, 65

Last season we lost to these teams by a combined 54 points. To be fair WSU was somewhat close.

Good info. Why did you decline to draw the unflattering conclusion about our coaching staff?
