He's right.
Well ... let's see if he is, maybe think about it just a little bit.
Vandy pulls outta The Southeast, as does Duke, amirite?
Stanford had offered Jake Bentley ... he's committed to SC and about to enroll.
They've got a kid on their roster right now, JJ Arcega-Whiteside, he's from Inman, SC.
I see numerous kids on their roster from Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, ... 17 kids in all from the Southeast with Georgia having quite a few. LINK
So the guy is a lying sack of shite actually ... but hey, whatever, IDGAF personally.
What he should have said was, "why hold a camp there when out of the 100 or so kids we offer from the South every year we're lucky to sign one or two of them."
Now, he would have been right had he said that ... he would have been honest.
ETA: BTW, I just looked at his 2016 class that has yet to enroll and show-up on the roster I linked above and, lo and behold, almost half of his 2016 class is composed of players from SEC and/or Southern states.
So he is a lying sack of shite.

Stanford is just a tad better than these two teams.

How many players from each of those states was Stanford recruiting? And who actually got in? Everyone knows this is what he was getting at.
But if you really want to get into the weeds, let's say Stanford held a camp in South Carolina for the twenty best recruits in that state. And let's say USC-East held a camp in California for the twenty best recruits in that state.
What percentage of the CA recruits do you think would qualify for admission to USC-East. What percentage of the SC recruits would qualify for admission to Stanford?
The idea that Stanford has less to gain by holding camps far from CA seems pretty clear.

Welp... we are done here.
Scrooster pretty well put the South's thang down. There are too many SEC area players on Stanford's roster right now to make that sort of comment.
Shaw is a decent coach, Stanford is a great school, they have a pretty good football team. That does not mean the South is devoid of talented and smart athletes. We know that because Stanford busts their arse to recruit players from the South despite being in the midst of one of the great hotbeds of recruits in America.
Shaw doth protest too much.
