This is a 2019 thread isn't it. There is at least another 18 months before we truly know where our boys will land, verbal or not. If any of those schools came calling I think any one of us would have to consider it and I consider you lucky and wish you and your son much success. (a few have had multiple offers because if one wants you chances are a few do.

Outside of the Ivy's, some of these schools offer a better college experience be it FBS football or an academic club experience. Some are decisively smaller or larger and could be the perfect environment for your child.

I personally do not think it is a bad choice if you are "stuck" going to any of those.

Good luck to all 2001 boys
