College: Michigan
Best recruiting experience: It was Michigan State. They were the first school to offer me. I love the defensive coaches there, the way they came into the city to recruit.
Worst recruiting experience: Soon after I committed to U-M, there were a number of schools -- Tennessee, Michigan State, Illinois and Wisconsin that contacted me after Lloyd Carr announced he was retiring. It got stressful again. It was like, 'Wow, I thought I committed already.' I told them to hold off. If the new staff at U-M didn't work out. I'd have a back-up plan.
Why not
MSU? It was a like a spiritual thing. I was at church. My preacher was talking about staying at home. Home is what you need. At the time, I was considering Nebraska and
MSU, along with Michigan. I thought the Lord was talking to me. I got the chills. I looked at my grandmother (Connie Bass), she looked at me and said I should stay at home. Later that night, I called coach Carr and told him I was coming. I'm a spiritual person and I felt the Lord was telling me to stay close to home.
Best recruiting trip was State but the Lord told him to stay close to home? How far is E.Lansing from Detroit, an hour? How far is Ann Arbor from Detroit, an hour?
My God is this kid ridiculous........
