Four-star DB Rodrick Pleasant put out a top 6 of Boston College, Cal, Oregon, Penn State, UCLA and USC. (I don't understand how BC became a recruiting powerhouse on the west coast all of a sudden).
As I've mentioned before, Pleasant doesn't give much away about where things stand, which is absolutely his prerogative to do. I'm just saying, as such, I really don't have much pulse on where things stand at all.
Our guy Jeff McCulloch talked to him twice in recent weeks. I'll just post the full Q+A here for you:
Q. Let’s talk about Cal, what do you like about them?
A. Berkeley is a nice place. Coach Tre (Watson), Coach (Justin) Wilcox they obviously have been recruiting me for a long time and I think they are building something special there."
Q. Have you visited?
A. Yes, I have.
Q. How was that visit?
A. It was nice. It was a nice place. They blew me away so it’s a nice place.
Q. Do you plan on visiting again at some point?
A. Yes, during the season.
Q. What is your most important factor when it comes to committing?
A. Some place I know that’s going to make me a better football player, a better man, and mold me to be a better person at the end of the day. Some place I could live and know they are going to let me play football and run track, so that’s the biggest thing for me right now.
Q. When did you last visit?
A. I went to the game where they played Sac State (Sacramento State)
Q. What stood out?
A. It was good. It was nice. Just being around the staff there. They showed me they really care about me more than just football.
Q. Was there any memorable moment at the visit?
A. Just being around the coaching staff and feeling the vibe.
Q. Who is talking to you the most there?
A. Coach Tre Watson and Coach Brown (Terrence Brown) … Coach Wilcox.
Q. How is your relationship with them?
A. I talk to them a lot. It’s a great relationship, great guys, great people.
Q. What are those conversations like?
A. We talk about football, life, family, just everything. Some things bigger than football
Q. Is Cal somewhere you can see yourself playing?
A. Yes, potentially yes.
