The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Carver-Columbus’ LeRon Furr, a member of the AJC The Georgia 150 list, was a key player in the Tigers’ run to the Class AAA state title in 2007. He is drawing recruiting interest much like his older brother, Memphis freshman DeRon Furr. LeRon talked with staff writer Jay Stone about the process.
Q. What things do you look for in a school?
A. “Playing time, location and academics. I want to be where my parents can come and watch me play.”
Q. What school have you always been a fan of?
A. “I wasn’t really a big fan of just a certain team. If I was watching a game, I just went for the team I thought was going to win.”
Q. Where are you in the recruiting process?
A. “I’m just now starting to get back into the recruiting process. I’m trying to decide where I’m going to take my visits and stuff.”
Q. What’s the outlook for the Carver defense?
A. “Our defense this year is just as good as it was last year.”
Q. If you weren’t a football player, what would you be?
A. “I have no idea. I could play basketball, but I’m not a college prospect in basketball.”
Q. What’s a deal-breaker in recruiting?
A. “How I feel when I’m talking to coaches. If I feel like they’re saying things just to get me there, I don’t know if I’d be interested.”
Q. Who was the first to call?
A. “Coach [Chris] Key at Central Florida.”
Q. Do you get autograph requests?
A. “After the games, I might sign five or 10. It’s usually older people. I feel like they believe in me and they feel I can make it.”
Q. Is your recruiting like your brother’s?
A. “It’s pretty much the same thing. They tell you one thing, and then when you get there it’ll be different.”
