I have no idea why he chose Duke over Northwestern if he really made his choice based on academics. Now on the football side of the equation, honestly, Duke doesn't even register. So I guess I'm pretty puzzled about this recruit.

NW is only better than Duke academically in certain areas. NW is much more liberal, while Duke has excellent pre-med programs I believe. Both are stellar schools, not much overall difference really.

And better weather, great basketball team to enjoy, up and coming program and coach, etc.

I'm obviously just speculating, but he may have felt like Duke had a better chance of actually competing in their conference.
