Ferrari, I was thinking of students who may have liked us at one point, went through the application process and were lucky enough to get in, but felt more comfortable at another school at some point in the process and effectively ruled us out a while ago. It's picking nits, I know, but I was just trying to square the circle between Hulk's "few exceptions" and the team's reported zero exceptions.Â
And Boston Card, you're absolutely right that the 22 guys we got are equally good no matter who else was out there. But I'll quibble on one point--if we truly did land every single player that got admitted, that is incredibly impressive, and demonstrates how predictive admission is. We all know a player getting in means he's very likely to come here, but 22/22 not only confirms how hard it is to get guys in here, but says worlds about how strong our coaches are at identifying the right kids early in the process.Â
