Eric Winston Talks Recruiting

proCane and current Houston Texans right tackle Eric Winston answered a couple of proCanes.com's questions about his recruiting experience 8 years ago.

Eric Winston: 8 years ago today I made 1 of the toughest decisions of my life and signed a NLI to play at UM. I haven't regretted it for 1 day since!!

proCanes.com: What schools did it come down to Eric?
EW: I made official visits to ATM, UT, LSU, UM. Unofficial to ND the summer before. Lol. Speaking of ND, I might have been one of the few guys to get a phone call from HC George O'Leary. The next day, he resigned

pC: What was most appealing to you about the University of Miami?
EW: Just everything. I think getting out of Tex was appealing, TE tradition, Coach Chud, the success [UM had].

pC: Who was the coach the recruited you from MIA? Was it Chud mainly?
EW: All Chud. Never talked to anyone else until i took my visit

pC: Which player was your host when you went on your official visit?
EW: Shockey and Mckinnie
