re: As expected, Bruce Swilling follows Tre to GA Tech

The top 3 Engineering schools (not in order). A couple of 4 star athletes thinking beyond football.

Riiiiight.

So two born & raised New Orleanian athletes pass up free education at Tulane & move to the state of Georgia so they can get a good job four years from now?

Nah, this is smacks of a brainwashing/guilt-trip job by their Ga Tech grad pops, who btw did not major in engineering. The potential good education bonus is merely lagniappe.

Don't get me wrong, football-wise, I'm happy for them & glad they passed up the other SEC offers, too. I actually think BJS could potentially stay at RB and thrive in Paul Johnson's system. But he wants to play LBer...at Ga Tech??? Not Alabama? Not under Aranda?




Back to my earlier post about the mystery of legacy commits: I just don't get how kids who grow up in totally a different culture from their pops' growing up experience, but go seemingly out of their way to follow in his footsteps. Mannings, Mauti's, Swilling's, etc...

Ex: What if a dad grew up in Nicaragua and went to Managua U. He later moves to Kansas City and becomes a successful businessman. Then raises his kids in Kansas City and that's the only culture they know. Spanish is not even passed down. Why would both boys chose to leave the states for a totally foreign experience at Mangua U and pass up other equal, if not better, opportunities that are closer & more familiar?
