And I sure would be curious to know what might be used against Stanford in recruiting:

- Don't play at 100k stadium?  50k and 100k don't sound all that different.
- Can't enroll early?  You'll be perfectly prepared.  Here's a reading list.  Here's a prep list, both academically and athletically.  We won't rush you.

- We won't make you take AP classes in high school, or retake your SAT.  Don't make the four year choice.  Make the 40 year choice.
- You won't have to worry about the stress of admissions. I can tell you right now that there is a place for you. Only a few are strong enough.  Are you man enough to join the Marines play for Stanford?  Psychologically, either argument works real good on 18 year olds.
- It's a long way from home. Your parents and friends won't be able to see you play.  The Pac 12 is the best league in the country and we play around the country.  Here's the URLs to get access.
- Look at the passion around here. You'll love it.
- You'll be the only person from your high school there. You won't know anyone.  You will have five new best friends in 24 hours and 100 new best friends by the end of the week.  Doesn't matter which school.
- It's in California, and they think differently out there.  To paraphrase Robert Duvall as The Great Santini, speaking to a bunch of southerners: 'Yeah.  We're winners.'"
