Some people think we never set foot on the moon and that 9/11 was a US government conspiracy. Who cares what the lunatic fringe thinks?

The usual Bear mental gymnastics around this is that STANFORD never really wanted the player and uses admissions as a fig leaf to hide our true evil intentions.  In their pretzel logic we only reject players we've lost interest in. 

Must be weird to be a Bear where the minimum acceptable party standard is to believe six impossible things before breakfast.

Indeed, that is #1 explanation.

In this case they would have to convince themselves that Stanford decided that for football reasons they didn't want a recruit ranked top 10 to top 25 in the nation by different services. A tough sell.

In this case I would assume they will decide that Mr. Robertson saw the light and decided for himself that the People's Paradise in the east bay was far superior to the elitist, pinko-capitalist bastion of Stanford and any statements to the contrary were mere smoke-screens to hide his true intentions.

My guess is that if he winds up in Berkeley, they won't give two craps about admissions here, there or anywhere.

The kid says he wants to study civil engineering.  He's signed aid agreements at Cal and Tech (two of the best), and Georgia (joke program).  I predict he goes to Georgia.

Per this link, the two best undergraduate civil engineering programs are at UCB and Georgia Tech:

Stanford ranks #4.
