There are currently 34 players in the 247sports rankings for 2019 that are ranked as a 5*. Eight of them have offers from Stanford.Except many if not most 4-5 star kids couldn't get into Stanford. I live in So Cal and everyone here knows they can't offer many 4-5 star players. Thats why they recruit nation wide to find those who can get accepted. Harvard and Yale have football players. There are smart kids who play football. Just not as many who can play at a high level.For those kids Stanford is something they really like so they have a good shot at them. I didn't come here to play school types are more in abundance and there's plenty of schools who will take them.
Stanford has offered 64 players in that class so far, and only 21 of them are not a 4 or 5* prospect.
Again, there is no way you can tell me Stanford is at such a huge disadvantage when they're able to offer athletic scholarships to this caliber of player.
