I recently had a chance to catch up with Rivals250 Texas LB commit Ayodele Adeoye to talk Texas as well as some of the negative recruiting schools have been using in an effort to get him to look around. So far, that quest seems unsuccessful.
Here's a portion of what he had to say:
In His Words: "Since I've committed it’s been a lot of relief on me, as far as my recruiting process is concerned. It’s been good. I’ve been getting a lot of hatred from what Coach Herman said about IMG but I talked to him and I understand where he was coming from."
On where the hatred is coming from: "Other coaches have been mentioning it to me, some coaches back home and some fans and players have mentioned it. It doesn’t bother me, though. I talked to him about it and he said they kind of switched up his words and he apologized for what happened. He said that he recruited me out of Missouri so it really doesn’t have any effect on me.”
On the biggest reason he chose Texas: “For one Todd Orlando recruited my brother at Utah State so we had a relationship. One of the deciding factors in my recruitment was going to be the relationship I had with the coaches. With the recruiting process I kind of thought a lot of coaches were blowing smoke up my butt and were telling me what I wanted to hear but I knew Coach Orlando was a man of his words so what he was saying was legit.”
