Is Brunetti wavering?
By
Jesse McCormack/ThaRinger.Com
July
10th, 2009
In an overall down recruiting year for quarterbacks, Memphis University's Barry
Brunetti is one of the exceptions. The talented
signal caller committed to West Virginia almost a month ago, but
there are already rumors coming out regarding just how solid
that commitment
may be if a school such as Tennessee came knocking. We have those answers, and
more, inside.
Brunetti, though listed by many as a dual threat quarterback, still
has confidence his in his very live arm.
“My strong arm and accuracy are my best attributes,” Brunetti said. “I’m also
pretty good with my feet.”
Brunetti was a leader on his Memphis University School, passing for over 1,200
yards and 18 touchdowns to go along with 704 yard rushing.
“We went 14-0 and won the state championship,” Brunetti offered. “Right now,
we’re doing good, we have a lot of youngsters but we’re returning eight guys on
offense but lost some guys on defense. We just basically have to shape up our
defense and get them ready also.”
On the recruiting front, things have been pretty slow for Brunetti, as he
committed to West Virginia on June 15. Despite that commitment, Brunetti still
admits he may give Tennessee a second look if the Vols showed
serious interest in him.
“I would take a second a look at them if they came at me hard.” said the 6’1,
202 pounder. “They’re not coming at me harder recently, but I kind of received
an offer from them last month.”
Is his pledge to the Mountaineers in question?
“No, I’m a 100% solid to West Virginia, I’m ready to get there now.”
Brunetti also told ThaRinger.com why he picked West Virginia in the first place.
“Coaches and the people there are what I really like about them.” Brunetti
described. “Obviously I like their offense, but I love the relationship I have
with the people there and it’s just a good family atmosphere.”
Brunetti also said he enjoys the, what some of his fellow peers describe as
stressful, recruiting process.
“It’s good and fun thing and I picked my school and it’s a good thing to get
over with so I can focus on my season but it doesn’t stress me out like it does
some other people I kind of like it actually” Brunetti said.
Brunetti is the #220 overall player in ThaRinger.com’s Top 300 for 2010 and the
#4 player in the state of Tennessee.
