“I have no opinion,” Shaw said. “It’s never affected us. People do them, and people don’t do them. We’ve got great attendance at the camps we have here — we get a lot of guys we want to come….But I didn’t like the way that a lot of people have put this as the SEC against Jim Harbaugh. That’s not what this has been about. Conference by conference, this has been going on for three plus years, since Jim was with the 49ers. This has been a battle. As a conference, we had a long discussion three years ago about what we were going to do about satellite camps….I’m great with whatever college football says, because it doesn’t affect us. It doesn’t make sense for us to go hold a camp some place where there might be one person in the entire state that’s eligible to get into Stanford.”
So what you're saying is that once this is brought up to a high school kid and his family, that Stanford is recruiting, you can guarantee that it won't matter to any of them... across the board? That's really incredible. Despite numerous people ITT agreeing with my original statement?
I bet you could find Shaw's email on the Stanford website and give him some tips on recruiting the SE. You do root for a team based there after all.
Any kid that would be interested in Stanford thinks they are that one smart kid that Shaw referred to and would not be affected by this. This will have little to no impact on anything just like most similar things that are said have little to no impact on anything.
Lol, wait so you think you win this argument if there one kid in the entire country, from now until David Shaw retires, who might possibly not like what he said? What kind ridiculous goal post moving logic is that. Here's what I can tell you after a decade of coaching high school and having players go on to every level of college football. 1-Kids are interested in schools who are interested in them. 2-Kids/families getting recruited by major colleges always think they are the special/different. 3-99% of high school coaches don't have much of a rooting interest where their kids end up as long as the kid/family are using sound criteria to make their decisions. 4-Of the 50+ kids who I've coached and gone on to college to play, I can't think of a single one who would have turned down a great school like Stanford because of what David Shaw said.
Maybe so, but I know a guy who did and went on to be the youngest player to win the heisman, get a ntl championship, lose 1 game as a starter and get picked #1 in the draft.
Massnole already beat you to the punch on the jameis dick sucking in the other thread. Think about that.
I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
Guys I'm pretty sure you don't need to be a genius to get into Stanford if you are really good at football
This house nigga has a bunch of white southerners mad because they feel like his comments were directed towards the dumb high school niggas in their respective states. Wow.
lol at it taking DBL 13 minutes from OP to get his research in order and come up with those SECSECSEC statistics. Spoiler Still no bammers Spoiler We'll take 'em at Oregon
I bet the kids in Alabama who actually could get into Stanford find both Shaw's comment and the butthurt outcry from the indigenous necks so aptly described in said comment quite amusing.
Dbl's drive-by comment seems to have worked as planned. Make counter argument, leave thread, thread implodes
The secret sauce that makes NASA so interested in those states is their obstinate refusal of the existence of evolution
lololol Y'all think Standford holds its football players to the same admissions standards as a normal student? How adorable.
No matter how unjustifiable it is to get bent out of shape over a comment Shaw didn't make, it seems silly to underestimate faux outrage at this point.
Nobody thinks that. That still doesn't mean that there are a whole lot of 4 and 5 star players who meet their lessened athlete requirements. The point is that they recruit specifically.
I'm a Southerner through and through, but that is a brutally awesome quote by Shaw; gotta give credit where credit is due.
Well, at least they love to tell you that. Over and over again. Their recruiting is a lot closer to Notre Dame than it is Harvard.
