[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op says this like it’s a wide open side door into an elite college.  Something like 3% of high school football players make a D1 roster.  If that’s your strategy to get in, you’re probably better off just sticking to the classroom stuff to go in the front door.

This. So stupid people are saying I know someone who did this! Of course this happens: on occasion and for amazing athletes.NO ONE is getting in like this without being a stellar athlete AND OP is saying she knows several like this. She does not. [/quote]

I'm the OP and yes, I do.  I never said the kids were not stellar athletes.  I thought my point was clear:  they are big, tall, athletic kids. What they are not is long-term football players or all-state type players.  They're a lot like the Jackson Reed kid.  Played a season or two of football (at a middle-of-the-road or even crummy team at a high academic prep school), started going to summer recruitment camps, got a lot of interest from Ivy programs, received an offer from at least one.  
These are kids I know very well so I know their full story.  And I'm not making this up--I have no reason to.  [/quote]

You also claimed these same kids had offers from BC, UVA and Duke, which are all P5 schools.  There is no way prep school kids with one or two years experience from  school with “crummy” football program arebeing recruited at P5 schools.  Your story is made up, op, just admit it.   [/quote]
