recruit a cat?

J.T. Granato had a list of schools that wanted to recruit him.  Most kids want to go away to college and experience life on their own, so how does a school stand out when they're the one in the recruit's backyard?  Rice School in Houston decided to take their pitch to Granato's cat.  They wrote a letter to the pet asking it to help persuade Granato to stay close to home so that he could be there to feed the cat and change the litter box.  Apparently the cat has some powers of persuasion when it comes to J.T. because he has signed with Rice.  cat's letter
