There will be a article about him and other midwest recruits and the group picture will be the magazine cover.
This is my bright spot and a good reason for me to not have a house full of dogs. My health is not the greatest and I want to be able to enjoy Nick's senior year of high school and be able to watch him every weekend and then play college football. This recruiting business is like taking a special out every week end and fighting for BOB and Group and Best in Show. This is major money when it can cost up 30 to 40 thousand dollars a year at some of these schools like Notre Dame, Duke and the Ivy shools. We are trying to get a full ride scholarship- and things look very bright for his future. |
Wow! Congratulations! As the mom of a Freshman football player (QB and defensive corner), I can really appreciate the talent your son must have to be getting that sort of attention from the big name school recruiters. That is indeed a lot to be proud about! Good luck to him and I hope in a few years mine will be following in those same footsteps! You are so right -- the prize in this case is HUGE!
BTW -- I think all agree you did the right thing with the puppy (well all except the lady who arrived so unprepared to provide for the puppy!)
Take care and let us know where your son decides to play. We watch a LOT of football in this house and I will be glad to cheer him on.
