I'm not talking about a Top 10-level team. I'm talking Top 2-level and asserting that Stanford has never had so many elite players at these key positions all at the the same time before, in my memory. They've had them at different times, and have had a few elite talents and other really good players, but not so many elite players all at the same time. If Shaw pulls in even one elite WR recruit in 2018, he will have the offensive firepower to compete for a national championship, is what I am asserting. A Hall or St. Brown would fit that bill, IMO.
Bama and tOSU get recruiting classes like this potential one every year. Several other teams come close to this caliber, every year. It takes special team chemistry, great coaching on both sides of the LOS, and a lot of lucky breaks to win a NC.
But, what a pinnacle of success would it be for Shaw to cap his run of 10+ win seasons, six straight bowl appearances, including three Rose Bowls, with a NC. I'll dream on that. ;D
