[OT] Sarah Hughes to be an Eli

I see that Sarah Hughes chose to attend Yale beginning next fall. From the newspaper stories, it sounds like Cornell wasn't even on her list.

Yale needed a tougher defenseman to play with Callahan.

They were hoping Caron would transfer back.

Sarah may skate better, but David obviously has better taste...

Don't believe Sarah Hughes even applied to Cornell. I recall hearing that she was accepted by Harvard in Early Action (non-binding). If so, her choosing Yale must have caused quite a few in the Harvard Yard to scratch their heads (like when Chelsea Clinton decided to attend Stanford). That is because Hahvahd has something like an 80+% "yield" and they really cannot fathom why one would pass up the chance to go to school in Cambridge.

They gave her a chance to talk Chris H. into staying for two more years!

If you restrict the choice to those two, she picked the best school of 1975 over the best school of 1955. Not a surprise.

(Now, why anybody would pick either today -- that's a surprise.)
