He has not set up any of his visits as of yet and will make his decision after a couple of his visits - probably some time in December.
If he had to make his official visits, they would be to the following (his new comments follow):
Texas – "They have a really good defense and need defensive tackles. It's close to home and they have good academic standards."
Louisiana State – "The head coach is nice and I like him, and they are also close to home."
Oklahoma – "They are the defending national champions and they are ranked number three in the polls now I think and I like the head coach and his staff (Third year head coach Bob Stoops).
Texas A&M – "They are close to home and I like the coaches though I haven't seen them play this year so I don't know how good they are as a team."
Kansas State - "I keep them on the list because a friend goes there and they've been tracking my since I was a sophomore."
Or
Tennessee - "They are a good team with a good winning percentage and a lot of television exposure and I like their recruiting coach."
Rodrique cited his strength and speed as his strong points in the last interview and said this time - "My size and speed are my strong points as a defensive tackle."
He still describes himself as - "An aggressive smart player."
When asked what pro player his style of play most matches he said, "I'm not sure on that one, I'd really have to think on it. . . I know what player I try to play like and that would be Jevon Kearse of the Titans even though he's a defensive end, I try to play like him."
