He is my student in my Advanced Placement Government and Politics class. He is the real deal in football and in life. Probably one of my top students in my 4 sections of AP Gov classes and I have some very bright students applying to top schools and military academies. He displays uncommon leadership qualities and is a high character kid. Any school would be lucky to have him even if he couldn't play football. Now add the fact that he is a beast on the football field and basketball court, every team wants him.
jlb - my advice. Go to Crate and Barrel, buy an 8-inch highball glass, get a ruler, etch the glass exactly 4-inches up, fill with water to the mark. Then sit back and consider the glass to be half-full. The rest of your day will be wonderful.
Why would somebody say this? How many times have we been told we had no chance with a player and they end up with us anyway? How about we let him make the decision as to where he goes and you not make it for him? Some people just can't wait to tell us that we're not going to get a player in recruiting and are so proud of themselves for doing so-but of course they have to remind us that "I hope I'm wrong". Yeah, sure.
