Not sure why Vetter wouldn't bite on a D2 or, especially, on a D1 scholarship. Especially, given the fact that so many kids consider themselves too good or above D3, and basically an under performer unless they secure an athletic scholarship at some point on their athletic journey. We see this carried to the point where some kids will attend an academically inferior school, often an NAIA school, just so they can say they got a (athletic) scholarship. Vetter, of course, could be programmed differently. From a family economic standpoint, he probably doesn't need it as much as many others. He is originally from Kenilworth, IL, an ultra rich suburban Chicago enclave. Prior to Trinity, he attended Canterbury School in New Milford, CT. Tuition there is currently $77,650!! Highly doubtful his family is anywhere near what could be termed economically disadvantaged. Yet, from a competitive standpoint, why not accept a D2 or D1 scholarship if one is offered?
Henry's father Alex is the CEO of cars.com, so money is definitely not a decision point.
Alex was originally from the East Coast and there's a good chance he attended Canterbury as well. He was a D1 athlete himself, having played Lacrosse at Providence College.
