I'm hearing Aaron Sharp from SC, decommits from Utah and Commits to K- state, because of Family agreement....should the child consider family in his decision ?

My answer is yes, especially if you have a tight and close family. The kid will always need that support system and I just think its easier when you are close or closer to home

That is a great question.

As much as we wanted our son to stay close to home to pursue his education and play football, it was his decision to go out of state.

There was some D3 schools wanting him in Texas, but he chose to go to a NAIA school in Kansas.
[b]As long as he is happy, and getting a good education (that is what is most important)[/b] then we are happy.
We will continue to make that long drive to Kansas every other weekend during football season.

[/quote]I won't pick my son's school for him but I'll definitely narrow it down to either/or. While 17 and 18 year old kids can great football players, most aren't very good decision makers. A recruiter can sell a kid a dream but a parent has to be rudder and steer the kid away from half truths and incorrect information.

K.St might be stiffer overall competition but I think it's a much better career choice for various reasons. Tell Aaron, Cunningham hasn't committed to Baylor yet for some reason, I'm beginning to think he's going to stay out west. Hard to go from Vegas to Waco. I would be asking Kendall what the deal is personally.

Maybe Cunningham is waiting for uCLA offer, remember Baylor is waiting on Brandon Harris decision too. He is scheduled to visit. Bottom line is Baylor wants 2 guys as a potential QB, and neither one of them committed anywhere so they will wait for them. And now if its true Sharp did commit, they may not come after him now

In my opinion, I would want my son to make the decision based upon the education he will receive. I will support him with what ever decision. Do I want him to go all the way to Arizona, no I would rather him stay close to home, but it is his life to live and I will support him wherever he decides to go  ;D

I'm guessing the logistics of having your son in Utah vs. Kansas had to be consider too.  Kansas is about a 8-10 hour drive ...Utah is definitely a plane ticket.

As a side note, Mr. Aaron Sharp has started training at Athletic Republic in Atascocita.

[/quote]its about a 12 hour drive to Kansas, and a 23 hour drive to Utah. Now with the price of fuel, which would you think would be more economical? :)
Great family decision to me.

I've heard about Athletic Republic, is it really a great place to train? I know a few kids from Humble went there before

I had two train there. We'll see if how much it pays off this Fall.  The workouts are pretty intense. I definitely saw physical results. Also, I've heard about a couple kids this year (one from Huffman) that got big and fast through their training. I believe most kids would benefit from 3 months of training (weight program included). My younger son has just about completed 6 months.

A well planned plane ticket might be cheaper. You definitely can't make a late decision to fly up there, unless ur prepared to pay. Not sure there's cheap commuter flights in our region. Also, One car will carry 4 people. Now 4 plane tickets + a rental...

      What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      He's with it enough to do what he's told, beginning day 1 when he signed the order to revoke the Keystone Pipeline project.  But more recently, he's protecting the DOJ, as well as himself ...  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up

      Most 75-80 year Olds have some type of cognitive impairment. If you are asking if Biden has dementia then my answer is no. That is a Republican talking point. If you all think he has dementia what type do you think he has?
