that is some dense recruiting!
Generally not a problem with o-linemen. They are the women's soccer players of NCAA football.Quote:
Don't football players have to be academic as well to get into Stanford?

I don't get this statement. Are you aware that most NCAA women's soccer programs wont even LOOK at a player unless her grades are exceptional? Most players are on a combination athletic/academic scholarship.Quote:

It hurts seeing Texas kids going out of state, but it would be hard to turn down arguably the best education in the country. And yes, players have to go through the same process that regular students do. I've had 2 kids in the last 8 years commit and play there. Both had to take extra AP courses their senior year in order to get in.
An offer to play football and actually getting in are two totally different things. He was probably close enough to extend an offer, but each player has to go through the same admissions process as all other students at Stanford.BombayAg said:DB Coach said:

Great irony in your user name.Quote:

I really think you know very little about women's soccer.

It's the same as us offering a kid who's a grade risk with the NCAA. The Stanford coaching staff has to worry about their own admissions in addition to the NCAA clearinghouse whereas most schools will allow any kid who clears the NCAA minimum requirements.Quote:
I don't understand.
Are you saying that he might get an offer to play but then he might still not get admitted to a school?
