Didn’t get a ton of interest coming out. Ended up at USL. Freshman year at USL, starts getting some phone calls. Had to tell people he was already on a campus. Not sure how much bigger of a school he could have gotten to, but i do think he could have done better than USL (other than proximity to home).
