I don't know about WBB.  For WVB the test scores were almost always the obstacle keeping recruits from being admitted. The assistant coach Corlett would tell the recruit what she needed for scores, GPA, and the number of AP/Honors classes to take.  The recruits always seemed to manage the GPA but fell short on the test scores.  This is what I have heard through the years mainly from parents.

I would believe that. Test scores are impersonal. What you score is what you score. Grades often are not. The teachers in most cases have lots of latitude in what grade they give any student. A student can improve their grade by working hard and doing "extra" things to impress the teacher. If the student is likable and clearly serious academically, that is worth quite a bit in the GPA.
