Reply to "Drinking on Official Visits"

I am done with the recruiting process now and Have experienced a lot with it. I had a powerhouse D3 coach (National Title a few years back) sit there and tell me on my first visit that he would have me come back closer to the spring. Sitting there at the table with my dad, he said I will be going to a party with the players and meeting a ton of people. He went on to tell me how there might be alcohol around, but that's college.

I have my reasons not to drink and will not discuss them. I have no problem, as an 18 year old young man, saying no to alcohol. The funny thing was, on the car ride home, me and my dad talked about it. He knows he raised me right and trusted me, but I was the one to decide that any college who wants to persuade me with a party hasn't done their job throughout the recruiting process and probably isn't the place for me.

Just my 2 cents
