KG's Hideaway

Ryan started talking to UNT last night. She likes the idea that they MIGHT let her play basketball and run track whereas the other schools are going to want her to pick a sport. I'd really hate to see her commit this early. She says she won't but the temptation is there because this whole college thing is getting pretty overwhelming.

We've pretty much picked 5-6 schools of the 15 big ones that are seriously trying to recruit her and that she likes (Kansas State, Oregon State, Colorado, Arkansas and UNT). UNT is definitely the smallest because the others are in the Big 12, SEC or the ACC. But these are just the ones trying to get her for b-ball. We haven't even looked at the ones trying to get her for track because, for the most part, we're not looking at that option. She's good at track... very good, but I don't know that it's enough. This year will give us a better view. She took 4th in state as a sophomore. I don't know that she'll even get there again because we've moved into a new district. There's just no way to gauge the district at this point.

She gets an automatic bid into Texas Relays this year because her jump of 5'8 was in the top 10 in the state. Even if that wouldn't have garnered it, winning district, regionals and 4th in state does. I'm really excited about Texas Relays because the colleges are there at the same time, doing their events right along side the high-schoolers so I get to watch DeMarcus and Ryan at the same event!! YAY!!!

I got sidetracked. We're finally starting to call the schools that are recruiting her (they can't start calling her until Sept 1 of her senior year) because every stinking one of their letters say "call me." So this lets them know we're interested in them, too. We'll see. I am just SO ready for this to be settled!
