I still think he is crazy to go to Bethel, but I know part of that is Bias... What does Len Bias have to do with any of this? |

Why would anyone want to go to Bethel?

Great question, Cowboy...
Obviously, I am making a reference to Davis' drug addiction
(Note: this is meant entirely as a joke, I have no reason to believe that Davis has ever done a drug in his life, or that he ever would...)

Also, a kid that played at my high school when I graduated was recruited by mainly D2 schools I believe, maybe a few very small D1s without much hope of success. His youth pastor at the time told him to go to the best academic school, because basketball was now his ticket to his education. He ended up with a scholarship to Rollins College in Florida, which is pretty well respected academic school, especially for business...that always sounded like good advice to me. Basketball for nearly everyone playing at this level is not going to be a career, even if they are good enough to play pro for a few seasons, they won't really have the money to live on it for a career...
Nothing personal, but if you could go to a Davidson or Butler, or a similar program with a strong academic tradition, better regional and national reputation at a comparable cost (after scholarship offers are on the table), and a great basketball tradition at D1 level, I would go for that. Even the Valpo's are probably a little better. I mean this both from a Huntington and Bethel standpoint. I am glad for the talent we get, but it sounds like Randy is going to get some real attention from some bigger programs.
If he truly wants to be in a Christian environment and wants to continue to play for his family and friends locally, then he has more limited options, and there is nothing wrong with having those values, obviously.

I agree with what you say, Rub. It would be hard to turn down a scholarship to a great academic institution like Valpo (USNews #3 in Midwest in Master's Top Schools) or Butler (USNews #4 in Midwest in Master's Top Schools).
But, I still hope Randy comes to BC!

I don't deny that I like my logic better when it is focused at a recruiting target of yours over a Huntington kid...but knowing that one of my best friends from Huntington was told over the phone that his resume was not being considered because the company had not heard of HUntington, there is something to going somewhere with a National reputation. It is an unfortunate part of small liberal arts colleges, though I feel like I got a great education...

It is an unfortunate part of small liberal arts colleges, though I feel like I got a great education... When I chose a faith-based education at a small Christian liberal arts college (Grace) I was making the assumption (correctly in my view) that my future career options were in the hands of my creator, and that the name of my alma mater didn't really matter. |

Haha... is it sad that I thought the same thing when I read that?
You know, Rub, that Peter van Inwagen lives in Granger, IN.
