Today i had to call back two college coaches and talk to them. The coach from Allegheny, Coach Jones, answered and Coach Meyer from St. Vincent didn't. I told Coach Jones that I wasn't sure whether i wanted to play football or not and he talked me into possibly coming up for a visit. I think I'm just going to call him back and say thanks but no thanks. I told the same thing to Coach Meyer in the voicemail I left for him.
I have a tough time telling someone I'm not interested in their school. I just can't flat out say no. I guess that's one flaw of mine...
As much as I'd love to play football in college, the schools I can play at aren't the caliber school I'm looking for. Even though St. John's isn't an amazing school I feel it's better than Juniata, Saint Vincent, or W and J. Aside from the academic standing I just don't see myself in Latrobe or Meadville for the next 4 years of my life.
If I get into Fordham I'll consider walking on and trying out for a spot. Just something to attempt to do to keep myself busy. If I don't get in there, and I don't try to walk on then I see myself becoming an intramural sports star. Maybe some ultimate frisbee? Some ping pong? Dodgeball? The possibilities are endless really.
Today I looked at St. John's for the first time on the internet and unless the virtual tour is extremely misleading I feel like I would love it there. It looked like a comfortable campus with decent dorm rooms. I could definitely see myself as a Red Flash next year. That is, of course, only if I'm not a Ram.
The Bronx>Queens.
I still have three coaches left to call back... poop.
Just another thought, it might only be the end of January, but it seems like prom isn't that far away....kinda need to get on that. Oh well, worst comes to worst I go alone.

Tom, make as many college visits as you can. It'll only help solidify your decision, which is a good thing. Even if you have little interest in a particular school, the experience gained by visiting is worthwhile. Make the visit.
