Highland's Sam LaPorta was featured as the 29th ranked prospect in the STL area and this really stood out in the piece:
LaPorta has 10 scholarship offers. Among his suitors are Lindenwood, SIU Carbondale, Illinois State, Western Illinois, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Brown and Yale.
If those schools want you, how could you NOT go Ivy League when your other options are directional state schools?
Classic case of "some of these things are not like the other."
