Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4665060, member: 1414"] It's not for most kids. But you're an LA guy, and I remember an outside the lines ESPN did about Bill McCarthy recruiting most of Colorado's football teams from LA. It was interesting in that his staff built relationships with the gang leaders as much as parents, but the pitch was very much - I can get him away from all of this and help him avoid trouble and succeed. Boulder is obviously much less boring, but it is still quite different. Kevin Ollie mentioned that as part of his reasons for choosing UConn. I imagine there are some non-athletes who also like the less urban aspect of things in Storrs. I would find it weird if anybody had both UConn and NYU on their list. I think UConn has more of a family atmosphere than most schools, which does foster school spirit compared to somebody at a place like BU. [/QUOTE]
