Can we read anything into Stanford's portal-acceptance policies after taking transfers from Nevada and Fresno State?  Both fine schools, full stop, but in '23 for example Stanford had transfers from Princeton, Harvard and Penn...   I'd love to see these new guys excel in the classroom just to derail the idea that only kids from snobby schools can succeed at Stanford....  Some people are born gifted, God bless 'em, but the great majority of kids at prestigious schools are more nurture than nature, as best I can tell anyway...
