I think any recruit that wants to be in the Voldemort race believes that can happen at Stanford.  I would be very alarmed if Stanford recruited someone with such an individual goal, but should that happen we are fine.  Any school that uses that ole tune to recruit against Stanford would be making a big mistake.  If Luck goes on to be the #1 pick in the NFL, all will be fine.  Today's "Me" types will be just as impressed by that as by any trophy given out by a bunch of old men in NYC.

Back in the day, not that long ago, a certain team across the Bay kept their #1 QB in every game for far too long.  Remarkably despite mega blowouts their backup QB had precious little game experience, and the entire O was built exclusively on the strengths of their super QB.  Then one day that #1 QB got hurt when the team was just about to become #1 in the nation.  Since that day, that certain team has become less and less significant in the college football universe.  During the fall, what is the thing that most fans have noted?  That their HC did a horrible job at getting the back-ups ready to step in either in an emergency or in future years as the starter.

I would hate for Stanford to repeat those mistakes.  Thankfully Luck, Shaw and the crew are aligned to my way of thinking on this one.  And yeah, I think Shaw is a bit smarter than the guy coaching that team.  ;)
