Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 3587926, member: 9403"] From the article: Ok, so [B]football [/B]players are comfortably in the bottom quartile. Well, that's about 20 kids per year out of 1700. Do we know anything about the rest? 200 point SAT boost, per the article. So if the [URL='https://www.prepscholar.com/sat/s/colleges/Stanford-SAT-scores-GPA']average at Stanford is around 1505[/URL], then the average Stanford student-athlete is scoring around 1300. And that includes all those football players, who are already established to have been in the bottom quartile, which means the average non-football athlete will be at least a bit above 1300. SAT score of 1300 is around the [URL='https://blog.prepscholar.com/sat-percentiles-and-score-rankings']86th percentile[/URL] nationally. SAT score of [URL='https://www.studypoint.com/ed/average-sat-scores/']1060 is average[/URL] - around [URL='https://blog.prepscholar.com/sat-percentiles-and-score-rankings']50th percentile[/URL]. Anyone think that average Top 100 WBB recruit is much higher (if at all) than the average college applicant generally? And you want to tell me Tara can magically drag any recruit in the country past admissions when the average Stanford student-athlete is scoring around 86th percentile nationally, ~240 points higher than the national average. Ok, sure. [/QUOTE]
