We do that quite a bit actually - send guys off to prep school for a year. I don't think most schools do that, at least not as frequently. Seems like we have someone like that in almost every class. Sometimes it works out (Ras-I Dowling) and sometimes it doesn't (Olu Hall.)

Thus I am interested in knowing more about the standards that UVA and UNC (particuarly UVA) might have for its recruits which are above NCAA standards. Are these higher standards test scores and/or class rank? Do they have a class ranking requirement?

I don't know exactly what they are. We just had a decommit this month (Alex Owah) who claimed he was decommitting because he didn't have a core class that UVA wanted, though he was NCAA-qualified. I don't know how true this is because other reports said he wasn't in fact qualified. I suspect it's mostly grades and test scores. WR Bobby Smith just committed to UVA - he was going to have to prep until his fall transcript made its way to admissions - now he'll join the team this year.
Anyway, here is a Rivals link - not sure if this is $ or not....
