I’ve noticed several Hotline readers have questioned/challenged my comment that Stanford has tougher admissions than Duke in a post about Johnny Dawkins’ slow start in recruiting.

Admissions is always a scalding-hot-button topic, so let me address this before it metastasizes.

First, I was referring to the entry standards for men’s basketball players. It was not a comment on admissions for the students as whole or even student athletes. Both schools are world class.
