Byron Murphy’s recruitment offers insight of what what’s important to a top-5 cornerback and his mother. From the Athletic

Byron’s mama : “When you walk in as a mother and you do all these official visits and meet all these coaches, a lot of them say the same thing, and it’s repetitive and kind of gets old. Who is the character? Who’s telling the truth here? Who cares about him? Who’s telling me anything I want to hear just to get them in the school? The difference between every coach I met and Coach Lake and Coach Petersen was so far off the charts. There was no confusion for me.”

Deep down, Murphy knew where he belonged, too, even as others worked to sway him until the moment he put pen to paper.

How close was he to staying home instead of playing for the Huskies?

“I signed for two schools,” Strickland said. “I had surgery and couldn’t go to his announcement. I told him, ‘You know what to do. God will tell you what to do.’ ”

Ultimately, Murphy’s relationship with Lake won out.

“I felt like he was the best coach on the field and off the field, him and Coach Pete,” Murphy said. “He’s one of the best DB coaches in the nation, I think, and having a head coach like Coach Pete being a good guy on and off the field … I kind of wanted to do something new, have a new experience, and I felt like that was the best place for me.”

In hindsight, Murphy’s decision to leave home marked the beginning of a transformation — from immature teenager to a development-minded adult — that continues to this day.

“It would have been a lot easier to go to Arizona State,” Mohns said. “When he really took a step back, I think he realized that getting out and getting away from some of the people around him and getting out of his comfort zone is what he really needed to do to grow up. Coach Petersen runs a true program. Coach Lake, I think, is the best in the country at developing defensive backs, and a good man and good role model. If he was going to be successful and have the opportunity to do what he’s getting ready to do, that was the place he needed to go.”

Does mama Ringo care about this though?

Yep

I'm sure everything about Texas says big time. That would influence me as a parent. I'm not sure with our marketing, our uniforms, our everything, that we give off the same vibe. DDY is right, our branding is weak as shit. Even as a Husky fan I see our presence as more mom 'n' pop, when what we should really be is the exclusive boutique firm that isn't the monolithic big presence, but the ninja fuckers that actually get results.
