UCLA's starting tackle Chris Murray (but he was a guard in high school) is now in the transfer portal. Stanford offered when he was a HS recruit. I thought at the time he had serious interest in Stanford before choosing UCLA. Maybe he will take another look.

He was door #1'ed. Not happening.

Raises an interesting question about four-year-ago admission issues.  What if grad students raise their game, academically speaking?  If he graduated with a 3.7 from UCLA, would that obviate door #1 issues from high school?

I would be utterly shocked if every single person who got accepted to Stanford grad school would've been accepted to Stanford undergrad. They're pretty different things, a lot of people are a lot more mature/capable at 20 than they were at 16, and as far as I know no grad school on earth gives a shit about what you did in high school.

Yes, that's a very good point. This would be a slightly different story perhaps (though still beyond a longshot, as any football grad transfer is) were Murray a grad transfer. He's not. He's a sophomore.

I'm confused. Are frosh and soph year college grades and transcripts inadmissable for consideration? Or do the high school transcripts and test scores of three years earlier carry the most weight?
