<p>What I meant is Stanford’s bb could be even better if they lowered their admission standard further. Yes, they were #1 seed when the Collins twins and Casey Jacobsen were on the team. The talent level at that time was unusual, not a norm, for Stanford. I don’t mean Stanford doesn’t have talent, but it’s just never as deep (except the years with the Collins twins and Casey) as teams like Duke or North Carolina which can have 4 or 5 4 to 5-star recruit in a single year.</p>
<p>Actually in basketball, those teams aren’t considered elite programs (OSU and Wisc are now playing much better than they had been) if I am not mistaken. Pac10 is just as good and probably slightly better in most years.</p>
