It seems like this kid is focused on high level academic institutions. He must be a good student. He would be a great pick up if he still had interest in us.
I'm a '79 NMH alumnus. Crazy hard academics if you have a good GPA, you can pick and choose from IVY League schools. Very expensive also, tuition is about same as Marquette. Most of the top athletes that attend NMH are looking for academics first.

Goal is National Championship

TAMU, Knower of Ball

From what I have heard it is either Harvard or Northwestern

They also get a lot of non-athletes in under those criteria. There are a few others who do this, too. I think Princeton is one, though I'm not completely sure.

At Havard ...

If your family makes less than $75,000/year you can go tuition free.  Between $75,000 and $150,000/year the average tuition paid is $12,000/year.  60% of students are getting some kind of tuition break (the average tuition paid by all Harvard students in 2013 was $21,000)  Athletes make up a small fraction of this total.

Yes the school has preppy boarding school kids, but it also has thousands that are not of this stereotype.

At high D1 schools athletes get counselors, tutors, special dorms, priority in class scheduling, etc  ... See what MU does for basketball players.  At ivies like Harvard they get no special treatment, just like Zuckerberg got no special treatment after he invited Facebook when living in Kirkland House.  This can make it exceptionally hard to be an athlete at an Ivy (only the service academies are harder to be an athlete).  This is why a number of athletes stop participating in sports and chose to be students only.  A smaller percentage transfer.

We R Final Four

I understand your point, but why would Zuckerberg get special treatment from Harvard for inventing Facebook? I don't follow.

Most schools give extraordinary students special privileges/considerations, whether in athletics, sciences, liberal arts, music, medicine, business etc.  The ivies largely don't do this.  So you have to be Harvard student PLUS a D1 athlete to play at Harvard.  It's is not easy ... Harvard athletes will never be confused with Florida State athletes.

I guess this explains why parents "divorce" on paper but still live with one another.

Sets up the paperwork to fleece organizations and the government.

Easy choice–NU

If he wants a better education (on paper) and a chance to go to the NCAAs each year, the easy choice is Harvard.

Jay Bee

NU it is. Glad you guys got to yap about Harvard.
REJOICE! Eric Dixon has been suspended!!

ChitownSpaceForRent

Good for NU. Chris Collins is doing work over there. Love my Wildcats.

Texas Western

It was good that Wojo spent time with him. There are some kids coming up from his high school that are going to be decent players.

A nice compromise.   A slight drop in academics, a big rise in regular season competition.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

Quote from: muguru
No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.
