Can anyone remember a 5 star recruit saying Stanford is his top choice this late in the process, and then not signing with Stanford?  I mean usually by now, they have stopped talking about Stanford as their #1 if they don't have the admissions profile to get in.  Deante Gray was super convinced he was going to get admitted, but he wasn't a 5 star either.

In recent years, Jabrill Peppers had Stanford as his #1 until the Summer before his Senior year.  Last year Iman Marshall and Rasheem Green were very high on Stanford, but didn't want to or couldn't do the academic work to get into Stanford.  Stanford has signed other 5 star recruits, but can't remember any that had Stanford leading in mid-October and then went elsewhere.  I know Trent Edwards and Julian Jenkins were 5 stars, but don't know if they were publicly saying Stanford was their top choice until January.

I guess what I'm saying is wouldn't Robertson have some reason to believe he has a very good chance to be admitted, if he is making clear Stanford is his #1 choice in mid-October?  It is pretty clear to all concerned that if Robertson doesn't sign with Stanford it will be because he wasn't admitted.  How many recruits have ever put themselves in this position?
