I think Stanford is fine... If you go by the Avg Star Rating Stanford is tied for the 23rd ranked class with 12 kids.   Lets face it your recruiting is general going to suck if you only pull in 12 kids unless you're USC.

He brought in a great recruiting class last year largely on the merits of Jim Harbaugh and Andrew Luck. In the coming years I think we'll see that he just isn't the same quality of coach as his predecessor. It isn't really a knock against the guy because nobody has had sustained success at Stanford other than Harbaugh. People will argue that his current class was not highly regarded based on the number of spots available but upon closer inspection the class is not overflowing with highly sought after talent either. Stanford will slowly regress back to a 6 to 8 win football team as they have been throughout their entire history. Without Chase Thomas, Ertz, Toilolo and Stepfan Taylor, who are you afraid of on that team?

Barry Sanders, Kevin Hogan, that OL class they brought in last year.
