The GSB is the most difficult business school to get into in the nation. My daughter applied with 3.5 years of work experience, degrees from Pomona College and Oxford, almost a perfect GRE score and didn't get an interview. Of course she is in the non-profit world, so it wasn't likely, but still....

I don't think our basketball players are ever getting in there straight out of college. The admission rate is 4-6%.

In general, no one is getting into a top business school straight out of college without work experience.  As for GSB admissions, yes it is difficult.  But it gets a lot easier if you come from a top consulting firm such as McKinsey/Bain/BCG (which some might argue is harder to get in than GSB as they themselves require top test scores and high GPAs).
