I feel like once he takes a Stanford visit he will be hooked. An east coast kid going out to Cali during the winter time... Its a wrap
This would be absolutely true if he weren't already so hooked that he is willing to take the SAT 3 times and take SAT classes just to go there with Alabama knocking on the door.I feel like once he takes a Stanford visit he will be hooked.

So what you saying?This would be absolutely true if he weren't already so hooked that he is willing to take the SAT 3 times and take SAT classes just to go there with Alabama knocking on the door.
Good question ... the way it's going so far, there may even be a red-shirt year issue....Did he happen to specify what year this LOI deadline he speaks of is in?
Given how much they are talking and how poorly Pawl closed this year, I don't think that is a fear you should worry aboutMy biggest fear is that CPJ is gonna be like öööö it and pull the offer because this kid is taking forever. He doesn't give a öööö about getting five stars.
Nah, any 'ship DR would take is one he'd just assign to a walk-on during Fall camp anyway.My biggest fear is that CPJ is gonna be like öööö it and pull the offer because this kid is taking forever. He doesn't give a öööö about getting five stars.
USNWR is not a measure of academics, but of student happiness. That's why it includes unrelated academic factors such as graduation rate and alumni giving.For what it’s worth, according to U.S. News & World Report’s rankings, Stanford is tied for No. 4, Notre Dame is tied for No. 18, Cal is No. 20, Tech is No. 36, Georgia is tied for No. 61 and Alabama is tied for No. 96.
but he didnt say that he wanted to go to the school with the "best education" and many schools seem to forget this too. he wants to go to a school "where he can get a great education". if you hate the place, the professors are brilliant but inaccessible and the atmosphere is not conducive to the total-person concept in lieu of being a barracks of ivory tower dorks, then you will be less likely to get an educationUSNWR is not a measure of academics, but of student happiness.

Times Higher Education does World Rankings based on academics:
Stanford: 3
Cal: 13
GT: 41
ND: 108
uGA: 400
Alabama: unranked
USNWR still needs to change their methodology for that. If it's about getting a great education, then non-research, teaching universities should be higher on the list. If you want to look for prestige, that's different as well."getting an education" presumes that you dont fail out because the brilliant professor is a socially inept fool who cant teach. you get the picture -- or at least those not trapped in the worth of academia as such will
i dont disagree with this part at allUSNWR is a joke that's only popular because it advertises it's rankings and international students assume it's an official publication of the US government.
I have never thought ND being "better" than us academically passes the smell test.USNWR is not a measure of academics, but of student happiness. That's why it includes unrelated academic factors such as graduation rate and alumni giving.
