Others looking to sway 3-Star CB Brodrick Calhoun from LaTech
DALLAS, Tex. -- Brodrick Calhoun has seen his recruitment pick up a bit of steam heading into the start of the football season, but the Louisiana Tech commit said that after his most recent visit to watch the Bulldogs’ season-opening win, his commitment is still strong.
“Yeah, it met my expectations,” he said. “That’s how I thought it would be out there. It was packed, they filled out the student section, the away section and the home side was full too, so I liked that.”
Calhoun said that the visit for a regular season game was an eye-opening experience after only previously having been on campus for the Bulldogs spring game. He said that the atmosphere was enough to reinforce what he felt about Louisiana Tech when he committed in April.
“It was the same feeling I had as when I went down there last time,” he said. “It still feels like home, all the coaches still keep in close-contact with me, so that’s where I want to go right now.”
While things seem solid with Calhoun’s commitment, he said that Cincinnati and Tulane have stepped forward as two teams making more of an effort to recruit him, but if either wants to lure him away, they’re going to have to step up their respective efforts.
IN HIS WORDS
On Cincinnati
“If I get the offer from them, my interest would be about 50-percent,” he said. “I don’t really know anything about it yet.”
On Tulane
“The way they talk to me, they say their DB’s be physical and can cover,” he said. “They told me that they have the best DB’s but I want them to show me rather than just telling me.”
RIVALS REACTION
Calhoun also expressed interest in wanting to take a visit this fall to UMass, after picking up an offer from the Minutemen in July, but it doesn’t seem as though there is much urgency on his part to stray from his commitment. Even when it came to him potentially giving another Louisiana team like Tulane a harder look as another close option, he held tight to the feeling that he had while visiting Louisiana Tech.
“I still would like to be in Ruston,” he said.
