Actually, to be fair, it does include a quote from Demetris Robertson that's interesting:

ESPN 300 wide receiver Demetris Robertson -- the nation’s No. 9 wide receiver and No. 76 overall prospect -- struck at the core of why the admissions process has become so helpful in recruiting.


"As athletes, we want to be challenged even in the classroom," Robertson said. "I think more guys understand what Stanford has to offer as a whole."

And David Long:
