If you haven’t already heard, Charlie Strong has gotten a huge commitment from 5 Star quarterback Teddy Bridgewater from Florida. He is rated the #2 dual threat QB in the nation. Louisville also has a commitment from the top quarterback in Kentucky, Louisville Seneca’s DaMarcus Smith. I got a chance to talk to DaMarcus on the phone today and asked him about the commitment of Bridgewater and how it effects his commitment.
[B]Q. DaMarcus, What do you think about the commitment of Teddy Bridgewater?[/B]
DaMarcus: [I]I don’t really mind it. I’m a competitor and I was kind of aware that Coach Strong was bringing someone in. It makes me eager and ready to compete.[/I]
[B]Q Does this make you think about decommitting?[/B]
DaMarcus: [I]Yes Sir I have. Not recently, but the commitment of Bridgwater has made me have thoughts about it. I have been thinking about seeing what other schools could offer. This really makes me think about it more.[/I]
[B]Q:What schools have kept in touch lately?[/B]
DaMarcus: [I]Alot of schools have been contacting me.Chip Kelly from Oregon, Boise State, and Illinois have been in touch the most.[/I]
[B]Q: Have there been any Kentucky interest?[/B]
DaMarcus: [I]Joker and I have a cool relationship, and even when I committed to Louisville he said we could always stay close during college and beyond. I also have a very close friend that graduated from Kentucky, Keenan Burton, and he has told me a lot of great things about joker and Kentucky. I will have to check out the quarterback situation at Kentucky and go from there.[/I]
[B]Q: There was a rumor that you and Bridgewater were cousins, is that true?[/B]
DaMarcus: [I]No, that isn’t true. My dad knows his dad really well so our families are very good friends, but we are not cousins.[/I]
[B]Q:If you had to rate your commitment with Louisville right now, how would you rate it?[/B]
DaMarcus: [I]I will always try to stay humble and modest and say that with Teddy committing it really has opened my eyes a little bit. I would have to say I am leaning towards a soft commit with Louisville.[/I]
