Take a naive approach to analyzing this. Stanford's signed 53 players during Shaw's tenure; 56 were admitted. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but Sarao, Carlisle and Winston were admitted but went elsewhere.) So if you knew nothing else about a recruit other than his admissions status, you'd have an excellent chance of predicting whether he's coming or not. My assumption, then, is that any player who fills out the application and gets admitted is going to Stanford.
