Stanford currently at #9
- Thread starter NDblitz
- Start date
New head coach Troy Taylor has an outstanding reputation coaching offense, and has a verbal from a damn good 2024 QB.
Given Stanford's admission standards, I am surprised at anything they accomplish in recruiting. They can't recruit a good chunk of the Rivals top 250, so the top 25 would be a good recruiting season.

A colleagues son played there recently he was one of the top OL in PA … I am not sure if ND offered him, can’t remember. Good genes, brother was a starting QB at Big 10 school and sister was a D1 swimmer, dad and mom both D1 athletes as well.
What part of it? Think the EE’s and grades through jr yr maybe accurate. I went back and counted offers, ( no way of knowing commitable vs non), not a ton but more then a handful. I looked at a 5 yr period and they offered 47 5 stars, northwestern was at 18. We were at 115, USC and Ok at 110. Ga was at 173. Not sure how they’ve used the portal I’ll have to look at that. So, no doubt Shaw was talking his book but there are challenges there.
a major difference between Stanford and ND is that football has NEVER been anywhere near as important there.
So you are never going to get the support from the admin, fans and alumni that Notre Dame football gets.

David Shaw was paid 9.0 million by Stanford last season. A top 5 head coach salary in CFB in 2022. So to say the Stanford administration does not support football is simply wrong.
sigh.
You really did not think did you?
There is support and there is extremely committed support. One could say Alabama has that. Just because they paid their HC a comparable wage does not mean they will support him like Saban. Then there is the alumni and fans and all that goes with support as well. Do you REALLY think the football program at Stanford gets the same amount as the football program at Alabama or even Notre Dame?
Now did I make that clear enough or do I need to expand?
Troy Taylor is the real deal. What he did at Sacramento State was nothing short of a miracle. Don’t be surprised if they are much improved offensively this year.
And there it is. They have just ONE recruit over 95 on the Composite
Stanford is #9 because they have a huge amount - 24 - of recruits right now but their average per recruit is 87.65 which is so-so. They'll start dropping like a rock when others start filling their classes. Why is this so hard for some to understand? With 24 recruits, they're just about done with their class.
another skimmer not a reader. So what if they pay for the coach but do not put much else out there to support the program. Do you get it now? Compared to Notre Dame, just how much does the coach get as regards help from the rest of the school, the alumni and the fan base? Care to answer that question?
The Stanford where the law studentes screamed at a federal judge for not believing a sex offender could declare himself of woman? Or the administration that cancelled a street named after Catholic missionary Juniper Serra?
Sure,
1. it all starts at the top with attracting the best coaching talent by paying them well.
That’s a strong commitment.
2. Your premise is flawed.
Tell us what Stanford doesn’t do to “support the program”
3. Notre Dame has a storied program, one that’s like no other, ergo almost everyone pales in comparison when it comes to alumni support and the fan base.
In terms of fan base and support today, are you aware that home games are no longer automatic sell outs
Let’s separate athletics from politics, and let’s not forget that we covered up murals of Columbus given to ND about 150 years ago
4 from New Jersey-----unusual-----have an Asst who's a Jersey native but that's still quite a bit.
Are you as stupid as you sound? Are you really claiming that Stanford Football enjoys the kind of support that it does at ND or Alabama? Are you REALLY SAYING ITS EVEN CLOSE?
You blather about proof. Do you need proof that the sun exists? Because its about the same thing but I guess you cannot see it.
Evidently, you lack any semblance of reading comprehension skills.
Didn't you bother to read what I wrote ?
Go back and reread what I wrote, then have somebody with a brain explain it to you.
You’re beyond obtuse !
