I’m happy with my safeties and my reaches and I’m looking to add some matches. Richmond has been suggested to me a few times but I haven’t looked into it too much yet. Will visit in the fall but on paper it seems like a good fit. Absolutely loved my Villanova visit. However, I feel like both Villanova and Richmond are high matches so I’m looking for something that might be a little easier to get into. I wouldn’t be too surprised if I got rejected by all of my reaches and matches on my list right now so I think I need to add more lower matches.
Safeties are in state(Pitt/Penn State) around a COA of 30k/year with OSU being 23k/year with automatic scholarships. Would prefer Pitt/Penn State if I can get Schreyers at Penn State or a scholarship at Pitt to make it closer to OSU price. Looking to get lower matches around that price too through a combination of FA and merit if possible. Thanks!
