Diggins admitted

 i think current admissions would take her, but admissions at that time was more restrictive for athletes.

I find that interesting.  My son was a 2007 admit (regular student; no athletic skills). I recall at the time the admit rate was 12%.  I thought there is no way the admit rate will go lower in future years or it will become more like a lottery chance.

Well, now the admit rate is around 4%.  So if admissions is less restrictive now for athletes that is surprising to me.  Would you relate your source for admissions now being easier for athletes.

hmmm...i may certainly be wrong on that point. my source is tos, which in the early 2000's complained weekly about robin mamlet. in my memory, there were many threads complaining that admissions standards for athletes of national prominence (not all athletes) had tightened unreasonably under mamlet and went back to normal a few years after mamlet left in 2005.

my apologies to those of you who have friends or relatives who didn't get in. i should have left that point out. i spoke without direct knowledge and hadn't realized that stanford does not cut national top-20 recruits any admissions slack.
