This time of year can be so uplifting, but at the same time, can be so bitterly disappointing as well.  I read Kirk Tucker's post-trip interview, and was blown away by the passion he had for Stanford and the sense of anticipation he had for receiving good news on his admission. 

The fact he tweeted he is "puling away from his Stanford commitment" suggests he was denied admission. 

This brings back memories of Deante Gray being denied.  Really disappointing when a kid works his tail off, goes beyond what every other school asks him to do just so he can go there, and he gets told he can't go where he had his heart set.

I was accepted as a Graduate Assistant at the grad school of my dreams, but was denied admission to the school, so my sense of empathy is quite strong for kids who get denied Stanford admission after making recruiting commitments.

Anyway, I really liked Tucker's video and was looking forward to seeing him play.  Now it seems it will have to be for another program.
