Again, not sure what the point of this post may be.  I get it...if you are the #1 in the country/world at anything then you can get into a top school.  If you were to take the #1 rated HS football quarterback (or let's just take the best HS quarterback with a 4.0 GPA who I bet is still a D1 power conference recruit) and the Princeton coach honestly believed he wanted to go to Princeton (and wouldn't bolt after the first year in the transfer portal or that he was otherwise wasting his time recruiting him)...then he would get in to Princeton as well, especially in the test optional environment.  Just so happens, these candidates want to play in the NFL so they pick Stanford (obviously the Holy Grail in terms of possibly an NFL platform and a top school), or Michigan, or Alabama, or OSU...you know the names.

Just so happens, there is no professional outlet for fencing where you can make big $$$s...if there was, then the kids above would go fence at some D1 program.
