[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he has an opportunity to attend UT (especially over High Point) then absolutely take it. If he is in any way considering High Point due to political leanings, he will have all the connections he needs (be it right or left) through UT.

I seriously don't know how this is a question. [/quote]

Full scholarship sports recruit versus going to a school 50 percent of his classmates are attending [/quote]

I get wanting to get away from classmates to start fresh. But UT is so big. Plenty of places to get away from the past. But to attend a place like HP seems very shortsighted for long term life choices and career prospects. Is this decision being driven by money and wanting to focus on lax instead of studying?

No, it’s wanting to play a D1 sport in college over club. [/quote]

But- it's not like there is a big professional sport contract waiting for a college lacrosse player.  I don't mean to disparage him. I have the same thing with a kid in soccer.  They are pretty myopic at this age and when they are in that sports world where they have devoted their entire youth to a sport- it's all they know.  It becomes their persona and they hang around kids that are all about committing somewhere (even if it is much, much lower than they could do academic wise).  My kid is at a T10 and was getting offers from T200s.  No, son, no.[/quote]
