You think he says that he is planning to stay until he wins a Natty(which will be hard, considering how good Stanford and OSU has gotten, and UCLA is on the rise along with the Arizona schools) for Oregon? That was the reason he stayed after all.
Also, how come the major 5*s of the country don't want to play at Stanford? I mean, going 10-2, going to the Rose Bowl, beating Oregon(#2 at the time), and nearly beating the current #1 team in the country is a very impressive feat. And don't get me started on academics.
the team Under Stanford Control has fallen from grace, so how come Stanford can't lure the major big time recruits?
dude did you just start following the team this season? Look at the freshman class...top 5. And there will be some excellent players in this smaller class. And for next year there are already plenty 4-5 star recruits that say Stanford is their top school or at least in their top 5. And Shaw can't offer every 5 star recruit. Most can't get into Stanford....

Plus, we may be a victim of our own success in a few areas. If I am an up-and-coming offensive lineman, I look at the insanely talented youngsters on the Stanford roster and maybe wonder if I won't get some more playing time somewhere else. All that aside, I fully expect us to get a few more prize recruits this year and hope to hit the ball running in 2014. Now recruits know that Stanford is more than Harbaugh and Luck.
