"That's hard, but I am going to say Cincinnati. They have a lot of new recruits interested, and when I visited there were people from everywhere. I think they are doing one of the best jobs recruiting me right now and it was just cool to see recruits from all different places."

*****  

"I'd have to say Louisville."


*****  

"Nebraska has. Wisconsin has too, I like what they are doing. Colorado, too. I really want to get in touch with every school that has a new coaching staff in general. I would like to get a feel for them and go down there."


*****  

"Louisville is the best with Jeff Brohm and coach Steve (Ellis), their cornerbacks coach."


*****  

"I would say Purdue because of a guy named coach (Corey) Patterson. That is my guy and we have some chemistry, so I would probably say Purdue."


*****  

"I'll definitely say Cincinnati."


*****  

"I think it's Purdue. They have a new swag and you can really feel it when you walk in the building. It's just special. I know of some big-time recruits that are actually considering now, they can go to big-time schools, but they are considering Purdue because of the new coaching staff."

*****  

"I'd say Wisconsin. Coach (Luke) Fickell's pedigree is amazing. I'm sure they are going to do something great this year and they have definitely made their presence felt with this new staff."

*****  

"Wisconsin for sure. They've shown us so much love and they've shown interest in us together which is the biggest thing for us. To be honest, you don't get that much love in your own back yard. I haven't heard too much from UC, but that is besides the fact."


*****  

"Probably Louisville."


*****  

"I've seen Wisconsin at the school plenty of times. They are always sending someone whenever they are able to. I've seen a decent amount of Purdue, too. Our school is a high traffic area, so I definitely see a lot of everybody."


*****  

"Louisville is looking good so far."


*****  

"Purdue. Corey Patterson is the main reason. He just goes out and won't stop until you commit. He is the main reason."


*****  

"I think Louisville because of coach Jeff Brohm."


*****  

"To be honest, I think it is Purdue because I see a lot (more) higher-rated recruits going there now than I did before."


*****

"I'll say Purdue because of coach Corey (Patterson). I say him because we are always in contact and that is who I hear from most."
