Jay’Quan Bostic narrowed its long list of offers to a top 13 this afternoon. He currently has an official visit and is planning several others.
Before releasing its top list, Bostic sat down with Rivals to explain why each school made the cut.
“Michigan made the cut because the facilities are really nice. They train the kids to play at a high level. They play fast, physically, and it’s just a great school to go to.”
“Michigan State always shows love. They come to school like every other week. I feel like they have potential and they’re on the rise. This team is going to get better. over the years.”
“The U, their facilities are crazy. Besides, it’s Miami and the weather is great. This life in Florida would be different – A guy from Cincinnati going to Florida would be crazy. The wide receivers coach offered me to Toledo then came back and proposed me to Miami, he’s a real guy.”
“The safety coach, OB coach (Grant O’Brien) has been on me since he came to Purdue and I love that about him. He said he’s developing guys, I could play like a real freshman as long as I come to campus and do what I have to do and that’s what I like to hear.”
“It’s VC coach Vince (Vince Moelle). He took a chance on me back then and he’s been watching me for a long time. He comes to school here and there and he’s just a real guy for real. I like the way Marrow coaches, coaches (Mark) bends over is a good head coach, the safety coach also accompanied me. They have a nice campus and the fan base is really nice too.”
“Coach (Jordan) Wesley offered to come back during the season. He told me we needed this kid from day one. He wants to get me up there and I have an official visit scheduled for June 9-11, so I’ll see how it goes. West Virginia is like the only team, you’re famous there without any pro team or anything. It’s West V and the fan base is crazy.”
“Georgia Tech is in Atlanta and it’s just a great place to live. There’s a lot to do there and my family is from Georgia. The receivers coach is a good coach and everything hits me.”
“Hometown hero. I love UC because that’s where I’m from. I was born and raised in Cincinnati. Coach (Kerry) Combes is a good guy – He takes risks with children, wants to see them develop and take them to the next level. Coach (Bryan) Brownthe defensive coordinator, came from Louisville and he’s been a good recruiting coach and stays on top of the kids.”
pitt:
“Coach (Randy) Bates has been my guys since day one. He thinks I would be a good person there in high school. He’s a great coach and when you get two caps you get a pair of Jordans, so I like that too. They also share a facility with the Steelers and I like that about them too.”
“Illinois with Coach Charlie (Bullen), we were about to call each other to arrange an official visit. They just got a first-round pick and I just feel like he’ll develop you to be the best man on and off the court.”
duke:
“Duke is a great school and education is important to me. I just feel like if I go to Duke and get a great education and play, you’re going to be recognized.”
“The wide receiver coach, coach (Michael) Johnson is a real guy. He came to see me this week. He explained how he will put his resume on the table against anyone. I believe him, I believe in him and I feel like he could take me to the next level if I chose Syracuse.”
“The local coach tells me how he develops the kids on and off the pitch. It’s bigger than football there and they’re like a family. They have nice facilities, a nice campus and excellent academics who make it good all around. I feel like it’s a program that’s going to keep getting better.”
