Message: [QUOTE="WiseWillie, post: 4964080, member: 13141"] When Alex was being recruited his mother was very insistent that he go to a school where he could play basketball but also receive an excellent education and particularly in engineering. Duke was one of the schools he was considering and his mother preferred Duke even though Alex wanted to come to UConn. So when he visited UConn, President Maric arranged for professors of the engineering school to be available for Alex and his parents to meet and tour the engineering department and discuss the excellent engineering programs offered at UConn. Not saying that was what got Alex to come to UConn, but if he is still interested as much now as he was then in receiving an excellent educational foundation before moving into the pros and that he will have with him after a pro career then it is completely understandable why he would stay to graduate. If so, lucky us. [/QUOTE]
