    “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.”

    You're right. I'm sure insulting part of your recruiting base will be very helpful on the trail

    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.

    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.

    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.
