I’ve been harsh on Francis Hope she has a really good senior season and kicks some a** I do love her energy on the court and wish the team would get fired up more like she does

Francis wouldn't have been a better OH than rubin and baird these last two years, imo the move to the middle would've happened regardless of the need they had there at the time. L smith was a huge loss and stanford can't portal their way out of an unfortunate situation like that the way all of the other top schools can Agreed No way Francis passes well enough to play OH She was never going to pass. She was always going to be DS’d out.

Francis is a natural OPP. But Kipp was in front of her and we have no MBs. It is actually kind of too bad because I think she has real talent. Hopefully she gets set this year....

Just noticed that Savannah Kjolhede MB from Indiana follows Stanford VB. Still hasn’t announce where she is transferring. Let’s pray it’s Stanford 🤞🏼

The problem is she would have to apply to grad school and get admitted. It's not easy to do. Hambly has no influence over a grad program department in who they admit; particularly in WVB. It's highly unlikely plus she's following about 20 colleges on Instagram so that means almost nothing.

I went to a SCVA 17s club tournament today. Kaci Demaria was playing on her Surfside team. She's definitely her listed height of 6'3". Passing was ok. Hitting a level below Rubin and Blyashov. Demaria may have to sit on the bench for a couple years before seeing the court at Stanford.
Surfside finished first in Division 1 so I'm guessing the team is pretty good.

Is that on a 1600 point scale? Lol. I scored a 1530 a long time ago. It’s hilarious to me to think that wouldn’t be seen as positive reinforcement. I know that’s not exactly what you’re saying, but that’s the first thing that came to mind. Non athletes average out around 1560 out of 1600 on the SAT. For athletes the rough cutoff numbers were 1400 on the SAT and 30 on the ACT. Stanford and other elite institutions like to keep their athletes within one standard deviation of the average of their non-athlete students so they don't get academically discouraged and can compete in the classroom. This is interesting. I was always under the impression that athletes had effectively the same admissions standards as non-athletes at Stanford (seems like talking heads say stuff like this, and I never looked into it). 1560 translates to 34-35 on the ACT, which is definitely not easy. But a 30 is fairly doable. It's obviously still a good score (looks like it's about the 93rd percentile), but it's a lot less imposing than needing to get a 34+ (98th-99th percentile).

Yes, those scores are more doable. One thing to keep in mind about the test score is that student athletes apply during the spring of their junior year. They have attained that score by generally the fall of their junior year.

IMO if Stanford had the same SAT requirements for athletes vs non-athletes, they would not be able to compete at an NCAA championship level in most sports. Lowering the qualifying numbers a bit allows Stanford to assemble competitive teams and yet ones whose members can make it through the academic rigors of the institution. As for the women's volleyball team, there are usually several in any given season that have scored in the 98% percentile on the SAT or ACT.
