Recruiting
"I have two offers from Nevada and Cornell. Right now I am looking for a couple more."
Other schools interested
"Stanford seems pretty interested. I went to a junior day there but I know I need to take my game to the next level to get to that school. I think Stony Brook is the next closest school that will offer me. Then maybe Harvard (could offer) after their camp."+
Recruiting the hardest
