Turbine, can we please take the pot talk to another thread so we can get back to hearing about actual recruiting?

Seems like every recruiting thread turns into “back in my day”...
I think if you have recruits that are drawn to a school or a state based on its laws surrounding smoking pot, do you really want him/her? Sure, the party vibe has its advantages, but frankly, you can get weed and alcohol on any college campus.
I lived in the Denver area for a while until moving back to Lafayette last year. Other than seeing the shops with the green + on them while driving around town, you really didn’t notice the marijuana thing unless you went out to bars or concerts or hung out with people that partook. Again, something you’re just as likely to see or smell in Lafayette or New Orleans.
Or it could be that maybe, just maybe, the young man weighed the differences between the two schools and CSU was the better fit. Maybe it didn't have a flipping thing to do with pot. Maybe the change of scenery is exactly what he's looking for. Who knows. To boil it down to one thing is foolish, perhaps.
On the same token, I wouldn't dream of forbidding my kids, who will ultimately have to stand on their own two feet and take responsibility for their own choices and actions, the choice of attending college in a state like Colorado. Seems shortsighted to me.
And things that draw them here would probably make you say” do we really want a kid who is coming here because of blank” Kids choose schools based on all kinds of reasons and some of them are ridiculous...like uniforms or a shoe contract or having an Xbox and ping pong tables in the lounge. They aren’t all well rounded, head on straight great athletes..you aren’t going to find 105 of those..not here..not if you want to win.
