The Stanford Football Recruiting Hurdles

David Shaw has found plenty of success at Stanford both on the field and on the recruiting trail. This year Coach Shaw has Stanford on the verge of another great class despite the many hurdles.

Stanford University is one of the toughest schools to get into anywhere in the world and to think how many 4.0+ GPA high school students get denied every year is insane but that is what makes Stanford so comparable to Ivy League schools such as Harvard and Yale and yet so unique because it's on the West Coast and to the surprise of many, is a great athletic school as well.
