...it's unfair to characterize us as having made a mistake without benefit of hindsight. We did actively recruit him as a walk-on.

Heard a story secondhand -- no idea whether it's true. Apparently a young lady at Harvard was paired up her junior year with some guy. She's been dating him for a while, and (as young people of Harvard, and Stanford, and other Little-Lebowski-high-urban-achiever schools are wont to do), she's ambitious -- wants to go to med school or law school or something. But she's worried her boyfriend is not sufficiently serious. Why? He has the impractical belief he'll become an NBA player.

As you can probably guess her boyfriend was Jeremy Lin.
