Sorry for not posting on here last night, I was super tired when I got home and just went straight to bed, anyways, "my source" says that the family has laid off the stanford talk, and want Reid to pick the school that he personally is most comfortable with, and everyone in the family believes that Minnesota is that school. He is not made his decision final to the family yet, but the family believes he had made up his mind over the weekend to attend Minnesota from discussions they have had with him, and the parents encouraged him to shadow some classes at the business school. The family is hesitant to talk to the media about which school he is leaning or eliminating schools because they want reid to have his moment on friday, but him wanting to go to Minnesota is like the "elephant in the room" in the Travis family.
When asked why Minnesota, I was told number 1 factor was he just just feels comfortable there. The U made him feel welcomed for years, He has gotten to know a lot of the administration there over years and developed a good relationship with them. He has been really impressed by what he has seen at the practice sessions he has attended at Minnesota, and feels like the coaching staff will make him into a better player. But the ultimate reason he says, was current players, and future players (2014 commits) reaching out to him, and making him feel wanted.
He also said that Duke's downfall was ultimately how late they got into the process.
