Of course she talks about more than just basketball. Of course, she remembers small and personal things you mentioned and talked about since the start of the recruiting process. It’s her (or his) job. Most are very genuine, some of the finest people I’ve ever met…but, ultimately, it’s still their job. A good decision involves some uncomfortable questions. [B][U] It involves talking to more than just the current staff and players. It involves being honest with yourself about the actual level you can play on[/U][/B].

It’s a once (hopefully) in a lifetime decision, go the distance. Leave no stone unturned. The last school to call might be the right fit. And in the end nothing…NOTHING…is more important than that fit.
