Heard the Harvard offer was academic, not athletic. Is that true?

 

As 75 said H does not offer athletic scholarships which I believe is true for all Ivy schools.

No. For those that are interested- The football team essentially "sponsors" you through the admissions and tuition/financial aid process. While grades and test scores are important, so is the athletic ability. They don't offer a kid that is smart that can't play at a Division 1 level. It takes an exceptional athlete to get an offer from anyone, you have to have exceptional athletic and academic ability to get offered and attend and play a sport in the Ivy League.

Well that rules out a whole lot of the Arm Chair QB's on this site. Including myself! Seth is a special talent and a very bright kid. Absolutely love watching Seth do well and can't wait for his Sr. season.

Great explanation.

Seth Hope is an exceptional person. Our family has had the great pleasure of watching Seth and the rest of this amazingly-athletic class of boys wrestle in our basement AND attic ever since 6th grade: Hope, Houliston, Hergott, Harris, Hayes, Wrobleski, Schweitzer, True, Kruse, Shadle, Greene, Caudill, Cochran, Bardo, BB, Brockett, Allen and on and on and on. Seth is at the very top - and has been a dear friend AND very positive academic influence with our son as well. I wish Seth and all of the young student athletes a great, healthy SENIOR successful season on that beautiful stage!

Strong testimonial.

Saw Seth the other day. I'm 6'2" and 250 and I'm looking up at him feeling small. It's amazing how big he's gotten. I can't wait to be part of "The 82 Crew" this year. There will be tee shirts.

Where the heck does he get his height from?

Grandpa is 6'2, 300 pounds to this day. Has probably shrunk a couple of inches since college. Played OL in college. There was draft talk back in the day and then injury his senior year cut the career short.

Come on bro !!!! I dont believe it.

I have managed to get down to 244. It's a sore topic right now. Hopefully by fall, I won't need a 2X shirt. I'm telling you that boy is huge. He lives next to my brother. Thanks for your concern Q.

Seth Hope is a beast! Heck he might be underrated if that's possible. Can't go wrong with brains and brawn. And you've got an Ivy League grad head coaching an Ivy League caliber kid right there so I also like the high absorption rate potential for Hope with regard to mechanics. High upside...
