Klineman to USC or Stanford

[volleysean1227]

I was notified by a private source that Mira Costa's Alex Klineman has narrowed down her two college choices to (Stanford and USC)

I thought all along that Alex Klineman was going to Hawaii? Was that just a rumor? Or is this post a rumor? Anyone, please elaborate?

USC

I don't think Klineman was ever considering Hawaii. You might be thinking about Hawaii's recruit Amber Kaufman.

Simplycurious, (R)uffda or Roofed; any confirmation that this player IS NOT STANFORD BOUND?

[volleysean1227]

i hope that she chooses SC, with carico heading there this yeah, she could influence klineman to play there

[roofed!]

I sure hope that Klineman will sign up for USC! Another piece of the puzzle for the team to make another serious run at the national championship in 2007 and 2008.

This is a rumor or wishful thinking. Stanford and USC may be in the mix but if you have had any interaction with the family or the player you would know that they are not going to let that kind of information out, and that they are not that close to a decision. I expect that she will consider both schools you listed, as well as UCLA and maybe one or two others. Considering that her Dad is a former USC faculty member I think that would be a help for them.

Orange County kids don't normally end up at any State School, including UCLA. They normally opt for the private schools ie. Stanford, U$C(sorry about your football loss Trojans ) or Pepperdine....It's all about the status of saying that their scholarship is worth the REALLY BIG BUCKS!

I thought Klineman was an LA County kid (Manhattan Beach)...Is there a difference?

Ever been to the LA area? You can find yourself driving on a street through an upscale area, and in five minutes you can find yourself in the 'hood futher down the same street.

The map says Manhattan Beach is about three miles south of LA International Airport. I think the makeup of the city is probably more important than the county. Orange County is actually more diverse than most people think.

I'll never forget the time I was driving around while visiting my friend who goes to Loyola Marymont. We were looking for a movie theater, and we figured that if we just stay on this main street (can't remember which one) we'd eventually find something. After driving for about half an hour we realized that what had been upscale apartment stores, resteraunts, and condos had given way to Compton. It was then that we decided to give up our search and head back.
