Shaq Thompson is the top safety recruit in the country and a recent Cal commitment. And the Cal commitment is taking the news pretty hard that Cal’s top recruiter, Tosh Lupoi, just bolted for Washington. “I have A lot of thinking to do,” and “It’s a business.. My family told me and have to do what’s best for me,” tweeted Thompson.
Can Cal Keep Shaq Thompson From Washington?
West Coast reporters have reached out to Thompson, and it’s safe to say he is anything but solid in his commitment to Cal. Here are some of the reactions from the five-star safety recruit.
Thompson told Tara Turnure of Fox Sports:
Just got off the phone with 5-star S Shaq Thompson, who says he is now torn,“I am 50-50 between #Cal and #Washington.”
And this from Greg Biggins of ESPN:
Interesting talk with Shaq T, he’s very close with Tosh but said he’s even closer with Wilcox, that’s who recruited his brother Syd to Cal. ... Shaq also said he talked with Tosh last night and at that time, he still hadn’t decided to take the job yet, made the decision this morning.
Wilcox, of course, being Washington’s new defensive coordinator.
Thompson is not an early enrollee and could stretch his decision out until National Signing Day (February 1st) or later.
