I spoke with Pearland (TX) Shadow Creek standout CJ Guidry to preview his decision in a few weeks where he'll commit to one of his top three schools out of Houston, Texas Tech and Nebraska. While he was careful not to tip his hand there was one thing he said that really stood out to me. It also lined up with what I've heard from contacts at Houston, Nebraska and Texas Tech.
On The Recruiting Process
"The recruiting process was a breathe taking experience it was exciting, coming down to these threw schools was awesomen" Guidry told Cougarsden.
On Why He Chose These Three Schools
"They all gave me a home like feeling and Houston vibes."
What He Said That Really Stood Out
I was asking Guidry if he already had his mind made up and was just waiting to announce it or if he was still going through the motions on deciding between the three and he had an interesting quote to follow.
"It's still up in the air but hey, there's no place like home you know?"
The Scoop
Decision day is July 11th. I kind of feel like the quote above was his subtle way of giving me a heads up. But there's always a chance he just said it not thinking about it.
But it does line up with what I've heard from contacts around all three programs. The Houston staff is very confident. Guidry talks to wide receivers coach Tyron Carrier just about every other day and tells me he views Carrier as a second dad to him. Guidry is also close with some of Houston's current commits and existing players.
He's never visited Nebraska and folks around the program there feel like he's likely headed elsewhere.
I texted Matt Clare at the Texas Tech site to see how the staff there was feeling and apparently the Tech staff has told them "Its not us", indicating he's headed elsewhere.
Crazier things have happened but I'd be very surprised at this point if Houston wasn't the pick.
