I came to the same conclusion.

Drtickles, it's a good thing your dad is a pediatrician. That nickname in any other specialty would be a HUGE problem. LOL.

Tell his brothers. They haven't gotten that memo yet.

Welp im hammered i agree

He is in contact with Adam Brenaman on a regular basis. I am in the hotel room in Cbus now for the visit this weekend. I can tell you for a fact that his mind is not made up. Will that change once we get on campus tomorrow, no one knows... But for the time being, there are no plans on him committing to any school this weekend. If anything Stanford is his leader tbh, just gotta figure out if he really wants to be 3k miles away from home...

Miami offered him on our drive up here as well. So another Florida trip is in his future.

I do likePSU, it's a unique place, but my dad and mom like Stanford. If it were me, I'd probablygo to Stanford... But I don't think he feels like he's one of the guys there. Alex is intelligent, but not the geeky type. My dad isn't a big college football fanatic, he knows about UM and watched him coach, but doesn't have time to watch a lot of TV, etc., so he's not in love with UM like people have stated. My mom met BOB once, and my dad twice. I only got to me twice, but the one time we spent several hours with him between one-on-one meetings and an awesome lunch with all the coaching staff... Those guys are a lot of fun. Both my mom and dad appreciate BOB's straightforward, no bs approach to recruiting. All that said, my parents also think UM is a good guy, I have yet to meet him... But at 8am tomorrow that'll change.

Thanks again Chris (and Nick) for all your insights. It's obvious your parents have done great job of raising all three of you. Much success in Philly working towards becoming a doctor. Also, please keep us updated on how things progress with Alex's recruitment.

Have your parents read the two articles from this week? I guess I'd think he was a good guy too, but only if I was in the "circle of trust". I can understand Stanford, of course. But I really don't get the magical spells Meyer puts on kids/parents during recruiting. I'd be interested to hear if his powers work on you today as well!

If I was advising him I'd tell him to go to Stanford. If he didn't want to be that far from home, PSU is the obvious choice. I really don't see the advantage in going to OSU.
