That is an outstanding article. Thanks for posting, TandB. I especially noted that Little's father made inferences about Stanford from the comments he read on internet bulletin boards like the CardBoard.
Quote: When Doug visited forums of various schools during his sons recruitment he noticed that Stanford received special treatment. Fans of other schools didn't succumb to the knee-jerk reaction to hammer Stanford as a horrible choice the moment it was mentioned Walker may go there. There was a deference by people who often acknowledged they would send their child to Stanford if it was an option.
