Why has John Curtis' Kenny Cain chosen TCU over Tulane? I think two things. One, TCU is an excellent football team in a very good league (Mountain West). Two, he wanted to get away for school.
Here's what Cain and Coach JT Curtis told me today:
Curtis, "I think he wanted to get away. He said to me it (TCU) is a lot like what's he come from (Curtis). TCU led the nation in defense, and a lot of people don't understand that."
Cain was highly complimentary of head coach Bob Toledo and assistant coach Greg Davis:
Cain on telling Tulane no, "That was probably one of the toughest things I had to do. I respect Tulane to the fullest. He's (Bob Toledo) a great guy."
Bottom line , the Tulane coaches are recruiting well. More and better players are on the way to the Wilson Center, in this class and those to come.
Cain will play linebacker for the Horned Frogs.
