Agree on committed but that’s not accepted

Do you genuinely think they would publicly commit to Stanford in February 2005 without an assurance they were very likely to be admitted and then Mamlet would later tell them no? Are there any other high profile examples like that during this era? I also just find this strange because other top recruits like Josh Childress were admitted under Mamlet, and if you look at Mamlet era MBB recruits and post-Mamlet-era, I don't see a brobdingnagian difference in their recruiting rankings:

Mamlet Era:
18 – Josh Childress, 2001 (RSCI)
70 – Rob Little, 2001 (RSCI)
94 – Chris Hernandez, 2001 (RSCI)
73 – Matt Haryasz, 2002 (RSCI)
83 – Tim Morris, 2003 (RSCI)
92 – Lawrence Hill, 2005 (RSCI)
09 – Brook Lopez, 2006 (RSCI)
19 – Robin Lopez, 2006 (RSCI)

Post-Mamlet:
[Notice that other than the Lopii, who committed while Mamlet was still admissions dean, there was a brobdingnagian void in Top 100 recruits in Shaw's first four seasons as admissions dean.]
38 – Dwight Powell, 2010 (RSCI)
54 – Anthony Brown, 2010 (RSCI)
63 – Chasson Randle, 2011 (RSCI)
73 – Roscoe Allen, 2012 (RSCI)
97 – Grant Verhoeven, 2012 (RSCI)
96 – Marcus Allen, 2013 (RSCI)
35 – Reid Travis, 2014 (RSCI)
59 – Michael Humphrey, 2014 (RSCI)
69 – Robert Cartwright, 2014 (RSCI)

Indeed, our MBB team cratered since the Lopii twins left in 2008. That was under Shaw's helm, not Mamlet's. Should we hold Shaw responsible for the fact that between 2008 and 2014 he couldn't get recruits admitted that could take us to the NCAAs?

I am just not seeing evidence that our athletic recruiting or performance on the court/field took a significant dip because of Mamlet in any sport but football, and even there, several of our highest ranked recruits since 2000 were admitted under Mamlet:

3. Michael Craven (2001)
7. Trent Edwards (2002)
9. Julian Jenkins (2002)
11. J.R. Lemon (2001)
