I recall in that one crazy recruiting year when we had more decommits than commits, Harbaugh offered a guy with an 18 ACT and he accepted. Not surprisingly, he never made it to Stanford.

a Taggert offer to a player in Miami (Central or Northwestern) iirc, and you may have inflated the ACT number.  not sure if Harbs or staff had been through an admissions cycle yet.  

on a more positive note, I recall Harbs going to bat for a player with lowish boards (not above low though) and supposedly asked for re-review twice on admissions decision.  admissions evidently reversed after meeting young man, his family etc.  young man graduated, later received his MBA while enjoying a long NFL career.  Pro Bowl, Walter Payton Man of Year for team etc.  good re-review from admissions.
