I hate when other boards, like the posters on The Boneyard, say "Seems to me the admissions excuse is a thing of the past. It's time to be put to rest." Like that's why Stanford cant win a championship. They're saying Stanford is always a contender for top talent but what they don't understand is anyone can say they're considering Stanford or even put the Cardinal in their top five schools, however that doesn't mean they've been accepted. For all anyone knows they released Stanford as a top school hoping/waiting for admission and when they don't get accepted they chose another school. No player is going to say, "Stanford was actually my top school but I didn't get in so instead i settled for option two." That would be disrespectful to the institution they end up signing with. Admission plays a of immense proportions part. I'm sure there are plenty of young women that Tara would love to recruit but simply doesn't want to expend energy because she knows their marks wont match the admission requirement. 

as i read the thread,  that single dissenter on the boneyard was responding to half a dozen other posters congratulating and complimenting stanford, saying that of course kiki was going to choose stanford, it's a great academic school, so if you can get it, you go, etc.
