Primarily talking about the Harvard interest... worth a read.

"Nobody involved in Hollins' recruitment has a clear sense of where he will end up."

And Minnesota has made big strides this summer because of Tubby Smith, whose accomplishments and presence have resonated with Hollins' family.

(and)

The truth is that Hollins is a terrific player, an elite combo guard who can shoot from outside and explode to the rim. Take away his academic profile, and he'd still have great options for college basketball. He also happens to be intelligent and charismatic; you could see him in 15 years as a high-powered sports agent or working on Wall Street or getting into politics.
 

Hopefully the Carlson School and Blake Hoffarber made a nice impression on him. This kid sounds like a great fit for the Gophers. He looks explosive around the rim.
 

Young Mr. Hollins sounds like a very bright young man. I hope he selects MN, but I love his attitude and wish him the best wherever he chooses. I wish more of the young hoops stars took their studies as seriously as Andre does.
 

Article on Harvard's push to recruit blue chip players. Did not realize that Ivy league still does not give athletic scholarships. If the athletes compete with the other students for financial aid, even a generous aid package might leave a significant cost to the family ($50K / yr). Last year, Harvard lost out in the end to BCS schools for most recruits. Tubby vs Tommy Amaker?

Paying for college is usually not a huge issue for Ivy League students as they receive very generous financial aid packages. Check out this link and you will see that Harvard students whose families make less than $60k per year aren't expected to contribute to their kids' education. That being said, if the athletes' parents do make more than that, they would be saving money if their kid took a scholarship elsewhere.
