| "I asked Newman if other schools were continuing to recruit him. He committed to Notre Dame last spring and has stuck with that decision.
Newman said UK coach Rich Brooks was at PRP recently but that he wouldn't meet with the coach because "I know I made the right decision."
That's a bigger statement than you realize. Coach Brooks coaches at the school he cheered for - UK. His best friend plays for Brooks at UK. UK was 1st to offer a scholarship, in his Jr year. Players look at Brooks like a father figure, and Brandon respects him greatly. I honestly would have had zero worries even if he had met with coach Brooks.
However, Brandon showed his repsect in the ultimate way toward ND. I wish all recruits, at EVERY school, got IT like this kid does. |
