the eight men’s baseball team recruits averaged 1,206 that year, while 22 football players averaged 1,063 and the five men’s basketball players came in last at 997. All 14 other recruited male athletes averaged 1,258.</p>

<p>Considering the national average for the 2002 SAT was 1,026, it’s a safe bet that few (if any) non-athletes could even get their foot in the door with stats like the ones above.</p>

<p>Yet the most elite recruits (read: prospective basketball players) can be tentatively admitted before they’ve finished their junior year of high school; all that’s needed is a PSAT score and freshman and sophomore grades.</p>

<p>This must have been how our beloved Sean Dockery got admitted with a 2.3 GPA and an ACT score of 15; at the time, his credentials didn’t even meet NCAA minimums of a 2.5 GPA and 17 on the ACT
