Doesn't this seem like an odd comment? Why would there be such a worry in general. Probably nothing to do with this particular recruit but a year ago there was a study on criminal convictions of players at 2010's top 25 teams. Only Stanford and TCU came out looking really good, and it came out that TCU does background checks on all recruits. Just seems a curious comment to make.

That's not what he's talking about. It's common practice in SEC country to take advantage of the year-by-year nature of athletic scholarships to cut the bottom of their classes out. That's how SEC schools manage to take 25 kids year after year. He assumes that Stanford operates the same way; obviously, it doesn't.
