<p>^ That sounds strange to me. Are you sure that is exactly what he said? There was no other factor besides that ACT holding your daughter back (like a 2.5 GPA for example), or you simply misheard him? Maybe he was just saying there is no guarantee without my help?</p>
<p>Im in no way trying to defend him (whoever he is) or trying to say that that sort of thing would never happen at Duke (I know you are about to accuse me of that Hoya), as it probably did. I doubt someone would just make that up. But it seems weird that a coach would say that kind of thing to any potential recruit. Maybe he just wanted to try and convince her to commit to the team if she decided to go there? Strange. </p>
<p>If a coach told me that I couldnt get in alone I wouldnt go there either, especially if I had your daughters stats (or stat, Im assuming the rest were on par with that). Congrats to her for where she ended up!</p>
<p>But, to contribute to this thread, I have visited Duke many times (sister’s there), and most people I have met are awesome and very friendly. All my sister’s friends were really nice, and made sure I had a good time while I was there. Theres going to be a few ******s. There are. But dont generalize about the whole school because of a few people. It all depends on who you associate yourself with.</p>
