That's one way to look at it.  You could also make the assumption that our coaches and recruiters are doing a good job finding the players that will make it into Stanford, and they are conveying what the admissions office is looking for in a student.

Sure, that's a valid way to look at it. And I think they are, on the whole, doing a good job. But my philosophy is that if you're winning too often, chances are you're not setting hard enough goals. It's not as if Stanford filled its class, even assuming we sweep the remainder of the targets. So it's possible the coaches could've taken a shot with a few other borderline recruits and filled those scholarship. Don't know if any fit the description in this case; I just think it's something to ponder
