I agree completely. I'm rooting for the kid. (Unless he goes to ND, in which case I won't be able to root for him until he plays on Sundays.) If not us, though, then hopefully Georgia, at least. Bama doesn't need the help, and I don't want to have to play this kid the next few years!
Even if he doesn't make it into Stanford, this kind of goal-setting, determination, and drive would seem to indicate that he'll do well in life, no matter where he ends up. Â
