Zorch, I think you are reading a lot into the posts that you quoted. This is a recruiting 2020 thread. These kids aren't recruiting us, we are recruiting them. They are excited to tweet out their offers. They are juniors in high school and many haven't even taken their SATs yet. The good ones will get 10-20 offers or more. At some point they will decide what schools to weed out and which ones to visit. After the visit they should have a real good idea about what type of school William and Mary is and whether it makes sense for them. At that point it would be bad for them to butcher our name, etc. Until then we are just one of many teams that are recruiting them and as much as it may not be what we want to hear, we may only be an envelope in a stack to them. So whether it is elitism or snobbery or something else, I think the expectations for these 16 year old kids is mighty high in some minds.
