Just realized that the combined 2014 and 2015 classes would have a 4 star player at each of the 5 positions.  So by prospective talent, if all 5 of these guys start in a couple years, Stanford could be pretty good again.

In my recollection, I don't think we've had subsequent classes with 4 star players at each position. I could be wrong.  I'll just wait until garvin confirms or refutes.

I only go back 20 years, but I think that covers the prime recruiting years.  During that time frame, I think '01-'02 might have been the only two-year period with five 4-star guys: Haryesz, Grunfeld, JChill, Little, Hernandez.  That's a PG, 2 wings and 2 posts.

More generally, if you look at recruiting for the last 6 years, Dawkins has landed 13 guys who were rated 4-star or better by Rivals or Scout.  The overall quality is not quite as good as Montgomery's recruiting from '97-'02, but it's been damn good.  Now the key is to use that talent to win more games.
